I wish that it did cover employers. But I would not cite it in OPs case.

Correct - like a hospital, doctor's office, or clinic.
If you work at a steel mill, consulting firm or a video store, it doesn't.
Again, I wish it wasn't this way but I don't want people trying to invoke HIPPA for their HR department. It doesn't apply
If a company tracks vaccination status, then you fall under HIPAA. I worked at a bank and we had to do training for HIPAA every year.
HIPAA only counts when the govt wants it to.
