My manager keeps bringing up vaccination status and where to get it in our 1:1. I am hesitant to take it right away and planning to get vaccinated later this year. Am I liable to report my vaccination status to my manager and higher ups in the company? Will I face repercussions? #covid-19 #quarantine
Actually, HIPPA only applies to hippopotamuses, not your manager or medical professionals.
No. It comes under HIPAA. But, your employer may demand vaccination to allow you into offices.
HIPAA only applies to medical professionals, not your manager, since your manager isn't your medical professional. HIPAA doesn't apply. With that said, just say you don't feel comfortable sharing medical information, and that includes vaccine status. Tell them to let you know of a policy when one gets written and leave it there.
