As more people get their COVID-19 shots, many are finding themselves in a position of having to ask others about their vaccination status.
Some are wondering if this violates the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA.
Ellen Cihak has not been asked if she is vaccinated against the coronavirus. She also hasn't been asked to show proof in Appleton stores.
"I would like to see that happen. I don't know if it's legal to do that," said Cihak.
Like many others, Cihak doesn't know if the question violates HIPAA.
John Fisher is a health care attorney who specializes in health care compliance and ethics. He says although the vaccine status questions might be uncomfortable, it does not violate HIPAA.

But is it against the law to lie and say you did get it ;-)
To be clear no one has a duty to disclose any of their personal health data if they do choose. Even though I have posted on this forum that I am vaccinated snd happy that I was, when asked in public by the Karen’s I simply stated it’s not your business what my personal health choices are. This is because I fully believe that most of not all private information should be controlled by the individual. There are statutory exceptions for example I have to report a rabies case to the health department but in general i support the answer by anyone declining to answer intrusive questions.
I know. You can’t say no and get into a whole illogical thing with a misinformed emotional reacting non thinking follower.
LOL, I read elsewhere the best reply is asking the questioner if they like a@@l sex and wait for their reply.
United Airlines is…
For a contest. (Upload your vaccination card to enter)
Soon to board its flights, no doubt.
Simple answer———NUNYA! As in ‘business’. Still wondering why those “fully vaccinated” need to be skerred of folks that CHOOSE no 💉? Are they signalling that the 💉 may not actually work? We’ve decided to let some underserved entity have ours as we’re willing to “pay the price”.
If they don't want my business, fine.
I told a covid nutcase that I have to stay back from her because she is more dangerous to me.
You can also say “Have you had your rectal probe yet”?
maybe under oath and then Id take the 5th
The bottom line is they are tightening the noose bit by bit. Will they require certification by essential employees? Maybe. Will they ask for proof? Doubt it. I just logged in and filled it in. I says "I understand that providing this information is strictly voluntary" It also says "I agree that to the best of my knowledge the information provided is true and accurate".
I think the reason they are being so legalistic is because they have offices in states that would sue or allow employees to sue for mandating an unapproved drug.
HIPAA only applies to the transmission of protected data from entities requires to maintain confidentially. An individual person has no HIPPA duties.
Yes. I'm getting a bit tired of folks who think that asking, "How are you today" is a HIPPA violation and that the asker is headed for Federal Prison. </hyperbole>
I thought vaccinated people were kind of like vegans. You don’t have to worry about asking them - they’ll tell you.
Simply reply with another question, “do you have any STDs i should know about?”
My wife and I haven’t been asked yet, but when it happens, we’ll simply say “I’m/ we’re aware of our vaccination status, thank you.”
We’ll see how it works out.
California attorneys and lawmakers have decided that you do not have a right to know that even if you are in a sexual relatinship with someone who is HIV positive.
Meanwhile Joseph Stolen has convinced dating apps to downthrottle people who don’t show/submit to the vax tag on their profiles. Again it isn’t like the dating sites reveal STD history to potential mates.
"Do you have AIDS, ghonnerea, syphillis, HPV, genital warts, UTI, or yeast infections?"
"That's none of your business!"
"Exactly."
Ask the person questioning you when they were last tested for sexually transmitted disease.
I have been vaccinated (for polio).
If Fauci can lie by omission then it must be SCIENCE.
