I assumed they did this as the states were making separate mandates not allowing masks - and that is a conflict of what CDC is telling us (MAKING THEM LOOK STUPID).
Remember HIPAA? It is NONE of their business if I have been vaccinated or not. NO ONE'S BUSINESS but my GOD, my spouse, and my doctor - It is NO ONE else's business.
The Privacy Rule standards address the use and disclosure of individuals’ health information (known as “protected health information”) by entities subject to the Privacy Rule. These individuals and organizations are called “covered entities.” The Privacy Rule also contains standards for individuals’ rights to understand and control how their health information is used.
STANDARDS FOR INDIVIDUALS' RIGHTS TO UNDERSTAND AND CONTROL HOW THEIR HEALTH INFORMATION IS USED.
Someone mentioned HIPPA rules do not cover vaxinated status in some (many, all?) Cases.
If a company wants to know your state of vaccination, they can request that, according to them.
Certainly schools already do this now. They request vax cards from you when you transfer from school to school, and when you do sports.
Likewise hospitals require vax records for employment, and that you get flu shots, and other vaxes for employment. Yes, you can get an exemption, but you have to notify them of it.
I 100% agree with you as far as privacy, but it seems there are some places that either are exceptions, or we don't have a correct working knowledge of the reality of the law.
I am sure that was written - if that is true - for this purpose. A person working in a Walmart greeter is allowed to ask my vaccination status? F THAT!

Anyone have time to dig into HIPPA law?
