[quote:Anonymous Coward 79324350:MV80NzUzMzkyXzg2NjA1MTUxXzlFMjdEMkFF] [quote:lettruthspeak:MV80NzUzMzkyXzg2NjA1MTMwX0JGN0E0NUJF] [quote:ITSARICHMANSGAME:MV80NzUzMzkyXzg2NjAyNjkzXzQ0MDREMkIy] If I may play the role of devil's advocate... 2 people apply for a job at ABC Corp. The first is asked for inoculation info and immediately whips out a covid card. The 2nd is asked for inoculation info and immediately and politely informs the potential employer that it violates HIPAA to even ask. What might the employer infer from those 2 responses? [/quote] By law they aren't allowed to ask, that's the whole point behind the privacy aspect. [/quote] HIPAA has nothing to do with being asked about heath information, it only prevents your doctor from sharing it with third parties. [/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!
