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.
