• Unvaccinated individuals with medical exemptions
• Anyone ages 0 to 11 who are participating or spectating in any activity

To obtain your medical exemption, you must:

• Ask an Ontario physician or registered nurse in the extended class to submit your exemption request directly to the public health unit where the issuer’s practice is located
• Once your exemption is accepted and entered into COVaxON by the public health unit, you’ll be able to access your enhanced vaccine certificate with QR code through the COVID-19 vaccination portal

Processes may vary in different public health units. Contact your primary health provider or nurse practitioner to learn more. Complete submissions that are sent to PHUs by December 29, 2021 should be processed by PHUs before the January 10, 2022 date in which organizations and businesses that are under the provincial proof-of-vaccination system will be advised to no longer accept physician notes as valid medical exemptions.
