The Ruling on Paying a Bribe for Necessity

Question
I am an employee in the medical field. The company asked me to take the Corona vaccine, otherwise my employment contract will not be signed. I am a pregnant woman and cannot take the vaccine for health reasons as advised by my doctor. Is it permissible to obtain a vaccination certificate — without taking the vaccine — in exchange for a monetary amount, and is this considered a bribe?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to pay a bribe in order to obtain a vaccination certificate, and what you mentioned is not an excuse for that. And God knows best.
