Hong Kong Vaccine Pass Exemption rules:

Exemption Certificate

Under the arrangement of the "vaccine pass", a person who is medically unsuitable for vaccination is required to obtain an Exemption Certificate issued by a doctor. Image
With a view to standardising and aligning arrangements, the Department of Health (DH) has produced a template of the Exemption Certificate for use by doctors.
Members of the public who are medically unsuitable for vaccination may consult a doctor on whether they are unsuitable and thus obtain from the doctor an Exemption Certificate (may involve a fee for private doctors).
The validity period of the Exemption Certificate is pre-set at 90 days, with the longest being 180 days. The actual validity period will be decided by the doctor having regard to clinical conditions.
"For the convenience of the public, doctors under the Hospital Authority (HA) and private doctors will issue electronic versions of the Exemption Certificate to members of the public through the HA's Clinical Management System and the Government's eHealth System respectively,"
The Exemption Certificate issued via the aforementioned computer systems will carry an encrypted QR code. The Office of the Government Chief Information Officer has added to the "LeaveHomeSafe" mobile application new functions for saving and displaying the Exemption Certificate.
The "eHealth" application and the COVID-19 Electronic Vaccination and Testing Record System (login with iAM Smart) will also be updated correspondingly to enable the public to download their Exemption Certificates issued by doctors.
This arrangement will save users who record and display their Exemption Certificate via mobile application from having to carry paper copies.
A transitional period of about three months (until April 30) will be provided for the Exemption Certificate arrangement, so that private doctors can have sufficient time to register for the eHealth System and make preparations to issue electronic Exemption Certificates.
During the transitional period, private doctors can still issue non-electronic copies of the Exemption Certificate following the template compiled by the DH, and the relevant paper copy of the Exemption Certificate can continue to be used during the transitional period.
However, after the transitional period, all Exemption Certificates must be issued electronically by doctors via the eHealth System or the HA's computer system. Certificates without an encrypted QR code will not be accepted.
