The Ministry of Health in a step to exempt citizens and residents from receiving the Covid-19 vaccine whose health may not permit them to do so has set a mechanism through a technical committee comprising an elite group of consultants from various medical specialties to consider such requests.
The ministry explained, in a statement the medical reports attached to the request must be issued by a government health facility, and include a clear medical reason for exemption.
The ministry pointed out the committee will study each request separately and respond via e-mail within two weeks.
The ministry added the committee will consider requests only if the conditions are satisfactory and within the prescribed criteria.
The request for exemption will be submitted to specialized consultants for a final decision.
