Honest question, where does HIPAA come in with all of this? Go to a sporting event and have to show that you are vaccinated to take your mask off? That sounds like a direct violation
You can choose not to show, no violations at all. Not saying they should do it that way, just not HIPAA issues.
I thought about that, its just a slippery slope. There are already people that choose not to get the vaccine due to medical or religious reasons. Next comes vaccine passport to get into places. I mean I understand with more dangerous diseases but when the majority of people under 50 will be just fine its crazy to me. And this is coming from a vaccinated person
If you're not a "Covered entity" (Doctor, pharmacist, clinic, hospital, dentist, etc) then HIPAA doesn't apply to you. If a stranger asks you a question about your health, and you choose to reveal that information, that's up to you. If a family member asks your doctor about your health, and they reveal that information, they could be in violation of HIPAA.
