The health authority is reminding those applying for exemptions to vaccine mandates that there are only two reasons public health will issue a medical vaccine exemption:

• a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of the vaccine (anaphylaxis)

• inflammation of the heart or thin wall surrounding the heart as a result of a previous dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, referred to medically as myocarditis or pericarditis

When someone is seeking exemption because of a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose, the health authority says it will issue a temporary exemption until the individual can see an allergist who will oversee future jabs.
