VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
In general, a medical vaccine exemption is given by physicians and accepted by authorities when patients have a history of severe allergic reactions to components of the vaccine (e.g., PEG (over the counter MiraLAX), polysorbate or other component), or a severe reaction to prior vaccination. General or specific allergic reactions to other substances unrelated to the vaccines, even when severe, are not considered a reason to avoid vaccination.
IF the prior reaction is to a component on a vaccine, then this will preclude all future vaccines because as of this writing all vaccines contain one or the other ingredient, and these ingredients are considered to cross react, for example, if someone is allergic to PEG, they cannot take a vaccine with either PEG or polysorbate in it and vice versa.
IF the prior reaction is to a specific vaccine and no further testing has been done to determine if the allergy is to PEG, polysorbate or other specific component, then an exemption will only be able to prevent future vaccination doses with the vaccine that caused a reaction. The exemption will not be able to preclude the use of a different vaccine unless you get tested and show a reaction to PEG, Polysorbate or that specific component. Each case will be evaluated individually.
VACCINE EXEMPTION REQUIREMENTS
- Vaccine exemption letters will ONLY be written to patients that can provide documentation of the following:
- Severe allergic reaction to polyethylene glycol (PEG), polysorbate or any other component of the vaccine, eg. a patient that has had a severe reaction to Miralax (AKA PEG) taken over the counter for constipation or skin prick reaction to PEG, polysorbate or other constituent chemical. In order to prove this, the patient will have to provide some form of documentation, for example:
- Emergency Room reports, previous doctor's notes or medical records.
OR
- A photo of an allergic rash (similar to what might appear when scratching the skin repeatedly) or any other photographic or video evidence the patient may have along with a personal report of severe symptoms like: severe difficulty breathing, sensation of throat closing up, itching, lightheadedness, passing out, along with an explanation for why this episode was not treated in an ER, Urgent Care or doctors office and thus no further documentation is available.
- Prior documented severe reaction to a vaccine (this will be a limited vaccine exemption as described above as it will only apply to the specific vaccine that the patient had a reaction to). The patient must provide documentary evidence similar to the evidence listed above.
- Vaccine exemptions will NOT be written for use in the States of New York and California.
- NO religious exemptions will be written. Please contact your local religious authority for those if required.
WARNING
We can NOT guarantee that this Vaccine Exemption Letter will be accepted. Some employers may not accept this vaccine exemption letter, although it has been written by Dr. Haider, who is a board certified and licensed Internal Medicine physician. For example, we had a case in which a particularly picky employer asked a patient to get a written exemption from an allergy specialist. If this occurs we can forward your exemption to another specialist and they may be willing to reiterate the same exemption, however they may require independent testing and verification depending on the strength of your documentation, which we have no control over.
