[quote:tkwasny:MV80NzUzMzkyXzg2NjA0NjczX0ZGRUNBMEUw] [quote:MeeLikey:MV80NzUzMzkyXzg2NjA0NjUyX0JBRERGMkY0] There are employers in America THAT REQUIRE you to pass a health screening prior to being employed. What health information do employers get? Yep. Whatever they want. A1C levels (diabetes) Protein levels Vision Hearing Balance Weight Height Mobility ...and a whole bunch of other stuff about you. [/quote] Applying to the Coast Guard Academy, for instance. You must be nearly perfect, passing your DoDMERB. [/quote]
Original Message
Unless there is a State or Federal law that mandates employers must require records of inoculation for terms of employment, your PHI (Private Health Information) cannot be required under HIPAA law. You can freely give this information, but they cannot require it. Your private health information is absolutely protected!
