Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament
Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim
MP for Sengkang GRC 

Question No. 3116

To ask the Minister for Health whether the existing form on Request to be Exempted from COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement has inadvertently precluded the possibility of doctors issuing a blanket exemption from vaccinations for medical reasons.

Written Answer

Persons who submit the form for ‘Request to be Exempted from COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements’ will be reviewed by doctors on their eligibility for COVID-19 vaccines. All our doctors have been provided guidance from MOH on the conditions to look out for, and will recommend blanket exemption when appropriate.
