The Ministry of Health and Social Protection will begin issuing vaccination exemption documents for people who are unable to get vaccinated due to health issues.
The move comes after Morocco mandated a vaccine pass nationwide for access to certain public and private spaces and for travel, starting October 21.
According to a press release from the ministry of health, citizens who are unable to get vaccinated must “submit their medical file to the regional health delegate of their residence, where a regional medical committee will decide on their request after studying their file.”
These citizens must provide medical proof that they cannot receive the Covid-19 vaccine, accompanied with their ID card and phone number, the same source adds.
Morocco’s decision to mandate the vaccine pass was met with criticism from both vaccinated and unvaccinated residents, with hundreds taking to the streets to protest the decision.
The Moroccan Association for Human Rights submitted on Wednesday, a petition to the first president of the Court of Cassation, aiming to overturn the government’s decision issued on October 18, to mandate the vaccine pass in public and private places.
