Makes me furious. My company as well put out a message today that they're going to begin pushing for people to take it. Ya know. . . "Don't do it just for your self, it's For the team."

Seems a bit violative of hipaa
Thanks for this. I'm trying to find something that more clearly lays out such a situation as this. Could making public a list of those who DO wish to take the vax be considered divulging the private information of those who don't sign it?
Not to mention, it's a list of people who DO take it. Many ways for "them" to take advantage of that info also.
Both sides of the vaccine do/don't should be thinking more broadly. This is what fear mongering gets us.
I work in a school. Hipaa
Do you have any further information where I can look to see in what way HIPAA protects the teachers? I'm seeing a lot of information about protecting students but just not much on teachers.

What Information is Protected
Protected Health Information. The Privacy Rule protects all "individually identifiable health information" held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. The Privacy Rule calls this information "protected health information (PHI)."12
“Individually identifiable health information” is information, including demographic data, that relates to:
**the individual’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to the individual, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual, and that identifies the individual or for which there is a reasonable basis to believe it can be used to identify the individual.13 Individually identifiable health information includes many common identifiers (e.g., name, address, birth date, Social Security Number). **
The Privacy Rule excludes from protected health information employment records that a covered entity maintains in its capacity as an employer and education and certain other records subject to, or defined in, **the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. §1232g. **
Future provision of health care to the individual: HIPAA violation.
It is not wrong to get a count to see how many are needed. There is nothing wrong with having a list of people to contact when the day arrives. However, that should be done through a coordinator who would be responsible for adding people to a list which no one outside of those coordinating the activity should be able to see; an appropriate way to handle it.
Wow, I really appreciate this. I'm not well versed in any capacity at HIPAA or really any privacy law to that matter and I haven't been able to find anything that would lay things out this clearly. I suppose it would be up to someone's determination if a public list of those who DO want it could constitute "individually identifiable" although it might not if she merely refused to comment and left out the possibility of getting it from her personal physician.
“This is an issue of medical privacy and I therefore decline to discuss with any parties aside from my physician”
^ thats my consistent reply when I’ve been asked about my preference.
My wife is a teacher and her school district is also doing the same public list trick. Our response is that IF the school, school district, the union, AND Named Senior Administration & Union personnel each want to ASSUME IN WRITING ALL MEDICAL and LEGAL LIABILITIES for anything that goes WRONG with the vaccine, then we will consider taking the vaccine.
we will be seeing class action lawsuits in the future over this
Cmon, take a little autism and aids... for the team, ya know.
I have no problem with the leftists sterilizing themselves, among other things...
Yeah that's not legal
Just say because of allergies doctor says to hold off until more is known.
Who cares. If they are afraid of the flu and are willing to be a lab rat in an experiment then thats their choice.
But that's medical information - shouldn't that be ILLEGAL??? The Lawless Left working at it again.
Anyway for her to say she’s going to her private Doctor for this which is scheduled xxxx? She can play the libtard card of being more comfortable with her own doc. Just a thought.
When they all drop dead, it'll be a short list up the ladder!
Dont you dare take it or let her take it.
This only makes "sense" if they allow those kids not to wear masks.
Who wants to bet that isn't happening?
Just say "my body, my choice" and your golden.
My job is making a Declination List. So everyone can be peer pressured into it
Allergy to eggs? One of the other "who should not take" conditions? Pick one and use for excuse not to take? No one needs to know which one.
For the greater good....
Allergists are warning their patients to NOT take it; they're at a MUCH greater risk of significant and serious side-effects, such as Bell Palsy and worse. Also oncologists to their cancer patients, so the common thread so far seems to be anyone with a compromised immune system. Source: family friends colleagues who are patients or medical personnel. So if your fiancee has any family history of any of the above, there is a valid medical reason to avoid it. Maybe sign up to stay under cover but then balk at the last moment because medical reasons?
Tell her to say she is expecting to be a mother soon
Um, sorry, I'm allergic to eggs.
Of they question her she can say she has allergies and her Dr recommends she wait
HIPPA claim it and stand on it as law. Sue of they expose anything.
I am in the DO NOT WANT IT crowd, but I am not 100% sure why. My gut tells me this has been developed way too fast, and if we do not have a vaccine for the common cold, how the hell did we get one for COVID. Aside from the major donors, which raises all sorts of red flags, I do not know how to explain to others why it should not be taken. On the other hand why is Trump pushing it so hard?
That is beyond fucked up. Also annoying that peer pressure actually works on people older then high schoolers.
Just say you wont take anything that came from orange man bad...Score extra points while letting them stew in their cognitive dissonance!
This is the final test. Take the shot, keep your job, and possibly be struck from the Book of Life
or
Trust in God, let them fire you if they must, and live forever.
A dollar or your soul
And they tell people they have to keep wearing the mask after being vaccinated.
One of the first nurses to take it on some televised stunt said "I can't wait to travel again!"
Doctor said "Nope. You can still catch and transmit covid (Chinavirus)"
So what's the fucking point of taking the vaccine?
