Asked on Sep 06th, 2021 on Workers Compensation - California
More details to this question:
I was hurt in 2006 and sustained a medical condition through workers compensation that has left me with Mental health issues and daily headaches that at this point are not controlled with medical treatments. I need my doctor to review my situation and give me a medial exemption for the covid vaccine. I can not at this point medically introduce anything into my system that would make my headaches worse or my mental health worse. I need help with this issue now. I will loose my job as of September 14 if I cant get the opportunity to see if I can have a exemption.

This kind of review and exemption report would not be something that your workers compensation insurance would pay for, as it's not directly related to your injury. That's likely why your work comp doctor will not do it, as they won't get paid. You will need to have your own private doctor write this kind of exemption report, or pay a different private doctor to do it.
