medical exemption
Doctor's official bypass
A medical exemption is official permission to skip a requirement—typically vaccination, military service, or workplace rules—due to a health condition.
A doctor certifies that the requirement would pose unacceptable risk to the patient: She obtained a medical exemption from the flu shot because of her egg allergy.
Medical exemptions are distinguished from religious or philosophical exemptions, which rest on belief rather than physical condition.
