One of Australia’s top doctors has revealed how rare a medical exemption for the Covid-19 vaccine actually is, explaining virtually “no one” in Australia will manage to get one.
Exemptions only apply to severe allergy sufferers
“Only a very small number of people can’t get a vaccine due to what we call ‘contraindications’,” Dr Price told news.com.au. Additionally, those who did experience a reaction after getting a vaccine would know about 15 minutes afterwards and could be easily treated, Prof Macartney said. “I urge people with chronic health conditions who have concerns about the vaccine to seek proper medical advice – speak to your GP. Please don’t miss the opportunity to be vaccinated due to misinformation,” she said.
