COVID-19 Vaccine Exemption for Patients  

The COVID-19 vaccination is a safe and effective vaccination we encourage all our patients to receive. We provide medical exemptions for the COVID-19 vaccine for severe or immediate allergic reactions to the vaccine or its components. In the case of severe or immediate allergic reactions to other vaccinations, we recommend seeing an allergist for confirmation of the allergic reaction and exemption from COVID-19 vaccination.  We do not provide medical exemptions for other medical conditions. We do not provide religious exemptions documentation. 

Update Your COVID-19 Vaccination Status With Your Provider

At this time, Valley is asking patients to update their COVID vaccination status with their Valley providers. You can do this by bringing your vaccination card or records to your next appointment or send them in a message to your care team. Sharing your vaccination status is recommended but not required. Depending on what areas of care you need in the future, some patients who are not fully vaccinated or whose records are not up to date may be required to take a COVID test.
