Exemption letters/duplicate certificates

What are exemption letters?

Exemption letters are official documents that certify an individual cannot receive certain vaccinations for medical reasons.

These letters are essential for travellers who cannot take specific vaccines required for entry into certain countries. They provide the necessary proof to border authorities, airlines, or other relevant bodies that the traveller has a legitimate medical exemption.

What are duplicate certificates?

Duplicate certificates are reissued vaccination records provided to travellers who lost or misplaced their original certificates. These documents confirm that the individual has received the necessary vaccinations and meets the entry requirements of their travel destination.

Obtaining an exemption letter

Our experienced pharmacists understand the importance of having the correct documentation for your travels, and they can assist you with obtaining both exemption letters and duplicate vaccination certificates for your travel needs.

Schedule an appointment with our travel health pharmacists to discuss your medical history and specific needs.

They will review your medical records and assess your condition to determine if you qualify for a vaccination exemption. If you qualify, we will provide an official exemption letter detailing the medical reasons you cannot receive the specified vaccines.

Pharmacists will then sign and stamp the letter, ensuring it is recognised by the relevant authorities.

Requesting a duplicate certificate

If you need a duplicate certificate, you’ll need to provide details of your original vaccination, including the date and type of vaccine received, and bring any remaining documentation you may have.

Our pharmacists will verify your vaccination records within our system. Once verified, we will issue a duplicate certificate with all necessary details and official stamps to ensure its validity.
