My response was essentially, "I can do it, but we will need to explain why we are going against CDC guidelines or else I see a mass problem on our hands. Can you get that reasoning for me so I can share it?"
A few hours later, the request for the memo was rescinded. Big win in my book.
It's illegal for your employer to ask for you private medical information. It's in violation of HIPAA, which is a federal law. Maybe you should pass that on to your employer.
Yep even government employees they are saying you cant ask for vaccine info.
Can confirm, - even in Commiefornia. I'm a state worker, and they cannot ask, or require proof of vax.
You can see that they wish they could. My business would love to make masks and vaccines mandatory. But they aren’t, and they can’t, and they know it.
The problem is when employers make everyone wear a mask UNLESS they prove they aren't vaccinated. So they aren't exactly forcing you to give your health information to them...but there is HUGH incentive and pressure to do it or get the injection.
Or better yet, finagle it so they ask you in writing for a scan of your card, then take that evidence to an attorney so it doesn't become a "well, it was a suggestion, not a demand" type situation.
I have worked in this area. Vaxination records can be requested by an employer only if being vaxed is within the scope of employment - like in health care settings. Those records cannot be made available without expressed written authorization by the employee to make their vaxine status known. All vaxine records must be kept in a secure place that cannot be accessed by just anyone. This is not part of HIPPA but a company can be in violation of other state employment regulations if an employee's vaxine status is made known without written consent of the employee. Not only are they in violation for releasing personal medical information without consent, but they can also be sued in civil court for violating a employee's privacy.
Companies right now are caving to public pressures without knowing what the laws are in this area. Like the rest of the general public, they must be educated and reminded of what the laws are regarding employee medical records.
Exactly. Some may be 'requiring' it out of ignorance of the law (which is actually pretty inexcusable) or they may just be trying to force it on you and hope YOU are ignorant of the law. People seriously need to start suing.
Why do we need to pass a physical for so many jobs? Also teacher friends i have all had to submit negative tuberculosis and covid tests.
If OTHER people's vaxes work, YOUR status should be of no concern because you would not be a threat to them. BUT that conclusion would require LOGICAL THINKING, something of which few people seem to be capable.
I agree whole heartedly. But the HIPAA route is already squashed when schools require vaccines for children to enroll, and some jobs require testing and vaccination as well.
Only difference is these chemical shots aren't FDA approved yet.
Jobs absolutely can require vaccine records. Now for an experimental “vaccine” I doubt that’s the case.
