*ahem* Here's what HIPAA *actually* does.
it would require proof of vaccination for entry to restaurants, concert venues, and gyms, you’ve probably also seen commenters protest that such requirements are a “HIPAA violation.”about disclosing your vaccination status and important confidentiality conversations to have, those issues actually have pretty much nothing to do with regulations in HIPAA . And while it may make you uncomfortable to be asked for proof of vaccination, it is very unlikely to be an actual violation of HIPAA.
Privacy regulations were adopted as part of HIPAA in an effort to get providers to adopt the use of electronic storage for medical records,, J.D., LLM, MPH, Edward R. Utley professor of health law, bioethics, and human rights at Boston University School of Public Health, tells SELF. The regulations in HIPAA apply to places such as hospitals, health care facilities, medical offices, health insurance companies, and some employers that keep medical records for their employees, she explains.
If, say, your employer asked your insurance company whether you were vaccinated, “HIPAA would tell the insurance company it could not provide that information without the patient’s permission,” Mariner says. But HIPAA does not prohibit an employer from directly asking their employees whether they’re vaccinated.
