https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/hipaa-covid-19-vaccination-workplace/index.html HIPAA, COVID-19 Vaccination, and the Workplace

1. Does the HIPAA Privacy Rule prohibit businesses or individuals from asking whether their customers or clients have received a COVID-19 vaccine?

No. The Privacy Rule2 does not prohibit any person (e.g., an individual or an entity such as a business), including HIPAA covered entities and business associates, from asking whether an individual has received a particular vaccine, including COVID-19 vaccines.

First, the Privacy Rule3 applies only to covered entities4 (health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers that conduct standard electronic transactions) and, to some extent, their business associates.5

Second, the Privacy Rule does not regulate the ability of covered entities and business associates to request information from patients or visitors. Rather, the Privacy Rule regulates how and when covered entities and business associates are permitted to use6 and disclose7 protected health information8 (PHI) (e.g., PHI about whether an individual has received a COVID-19 vaccine) that covered entities and business associates create, receive, maintain, or transmit. Thus, the Privacy Rule does not prohibit a covered entity (e.g., a covered doctor, hospital, or health plan) or business associate from asking whether an individual (e.g., a patient or visitor) has received a particular vaccine, including COVID-19 vaccines, although it does regulate how and when a covered entity or its business associate may use or disclose information about an individual’s vaccination status.

Additional examples. The Privacy Rule does not apply when an individual:

Is asked about their vaccination status by a school,9 employer, store, restaurant, entertainment venue, or another individual. Asks another individual, their doctor, or a service provider whether they are vaccinated. Asks a company, such as a home health agency, whether its workforce members are vaccinated. Other state or federal laws address whether individuals are required to disclose whether they have received a vaccine under certain circumstances.

2. Does the HIPAA Privacy Rule prevent customers or clients of a business from disclosing whether they have received a COVID-19 vaccine?

No. The Privacy Rule does not prevent any individual from disclosing whether that individual has been vaccinated against COVID-19 or any other disease. The Privacy Rule does not apply to individuals’ disclosures about their own health information. It applies only to covered entities10 and, to some extent their business associates.11 Therefore, the Privacy Rule does not apply when an individual tells another person, such as a colleague or business owner, about their own vaccination status.

3. Does the HIPAA Privacy Rule prohibit an employer from requiring a workforce member to disclose whether they have received a COVID-19 vaccine to the employer, clients, or other parties?

No. The Privacy Rule does not apply to employment records, including employment records held by covered entities12 or business associates13 in their capacity as employers.14 Generally, the Privacy Rule does not regulate what information can be requested from employees as part of the terms and conditions of employment that an employer may impose on its workforce.15 However, other federal or state laws do address terms and conditions of employment.16 For example, federal anti-discrimination laws do not prevent an employer from choosing to require that all employees physically entering the workplace be vaccinated against COVID-19 and provide documentation or other confirmation that they have met this requirement, subject to reasonable accommodation provisions and other equal employment opportunity considerations.17 Documentation or other confirmation of vaccination, however, must be kept confidential and stored separately from the employee’s personnel files under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).18

4. Does the HIPAA Privacy Rule prohibit a covered entity or business associate from requiring its workforce members to disclose to their employers or other parties whether the workforce members have received a COVID-19 vaccine?

No. The Privacy Rule does not apply to employment records, including employment records held by covered entities19 and business associates20 acting in their capacity as employers.21 Thus, the Privacy Rule generally does not regulate what information can be requested from employees as part of the terms and conditions of employment that a covered entity or business associate may impose on its workforce,22 such as the ability of a covered entity or business associate23 to require its workforce members to provide documentation of their vaccination against COVID-19 or to disclose whether they have been vaccinated to their employer, other workforce members, patients, or members of the public.

For example, the Privacy Rule does not prohibit a covered entity or business associate from requiring or requesting each workforce member to:

Provide documentation of their COVID-19 or flu vaccination to their current or prospective employer. Sign a HIPAA authorization for a covered health care provider to disclose the workforce member’s COVID-19 or varicella vaccination record to their employer.24 Wear a mask--while in the employer’s facility, on the employer’s property, or in the normal course of performing their duties at another location. Disclose whether they have received a COVID-19 vaccine in response to queries from current or prospective patients. Other federal or state laws address whether an employer may require a workforce member to obtain any vaccinations as a condition of employment and provide documentation or other confirmation of vaccination. These laws also address how employers must treat medical information that they obtain from employees. For example, documentation or other confirmation of vaccination must be kept confidential and stored separately from the employee’s personnel files under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

5. Does the HIPAA Privacy Rule prohibit a doctor’s office from disclosing an individual’s protected health information (PHI), including whether they have received a COVID-19 vaccine, to the individual’s employer or other parties?

Generally, yes. The Privacy Rule prohibits covered entities25 and their business associates26 from using or disclosing an individual’s PHI27 (e.g., information about whether the individual has received a vaccine, such as a COVID-19 vaccine; the individual’s medical history or demographic information) except with the individual’s authorization or as otherwise expressly permitted or required by the Privacy Rule.

Generally, where a covered entity or business associate is permitted to disclose PHI, it is limited to disclosing the PHI that is reasonably necessary to accomplish the stated purpose for the disclosure.28

For example, if consistent with other law and applicable ethical standards, under the Privacy Rule:

A covered physician is permitted to disclose PHI relating to an individual’s vaccination to the individual’s health plan as necessary to obtain payment for the administration of a COVID-19 vaccine.29 A covered pharmacy is permitted to disclose PHI relating to an individual’s vaccination status (e.g., that an individual has received a COVID-19 vaccination, the date of vaccination, the vaccine manufacturer) to a public health authority, such as a state or local public health agency.30 In such situations, the covered pharmacy may rely, if such reliance is reasonable under the circumstances, on a representation by the public health authority that the information requested constitutes the minimum necessary for the stated purpose(s) of the disclosure (e.g., to track and compare the effectiveness of different COVID-19 vaccines).31 A health plan is permitted to disclose an individual’s vaccination status where required to do so by law.32 A covered nurse practitioner is permitted to provide PHI relating to an individual’s COVID-19 vaccination status to the individual.33 A covered clinician who is an investigator in a COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial is permitted to use or disclose PHI to the vaccine manufacturer and FDA about clinical trial participants for the purpose of activities related to the quality, safety, or effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine.34 Such purposes include: To collect or report adverse events, product defects or problems (including problems with the use or labeling of a product), or biological product deviations. To track FDA-regulation products, including COVID-19 vaccines. To enable product recalls, repairs, replacement, or lookback (including locating and notifying individuals who have received products that have been recalled, withdrawn, or are the subject of lookback). To conduct post-marketing surveillance. A covered hospital is permitted to disclose PHI relating to an individual’s vaccination status to the individual’s employer so that the employer may conduct an evaluation relating to medical surveillance of the workplace (e.g., surveillance of the spread of COVID-19 within the workforce) or to evaluate whether the individual has a work-related illness,35 ,36 and all of the following conditions are met: The covered hospital is providing the health care service to the individual at the request of the individual’s employer or as a member of the employer’s workforce.37 The PHI that is disclosed consists of findings concerning work-related illness or workplace-related medical surveillance. The employer needs the findings in order to comply with its obligations under the legal authorities of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), or state laws having a similar purpose (e.g., under OSHA’s recordkeeping requirements, worker side effects from vaccination constitute a “recordable illness,” and thus, employers are responsible for recording such side effects in certain circumstances38 ).39 ,40 The covered health care provider provides written notice to the individual that the PHI related to the medical surveillance of the workplace and work-related illnesses will be disclosed to the employer. (This can be accomplished by providing the individual with a copy of the notice at the time the health care is provided, or by posting the notice in a prominent place at the location where the health care is provided if the health care is being provided on the work site of the employer.)41 In other circumstances, the Privacy Rule generally requires a covered entity to obtain an individual’s written authorization before disclosing the individual’s PHI,42 such as disclosure of whether the individual has received a vaccine, to, for example:

A sports arena or entertainment purveyor. A hotel, resort, or cruise ship. An airline or car rental agency. NOTE: The Privacy Rule does not prohibit an individual from choosing to provide any of these individuals or entities with information regarding their vaccination status.

However, the information in the FAQs concerning the HIPAA Rules is applicable to all vaccinations, regardless of the disease or condition being addressed or whether the vaccine has been fully approved or authorized via an emergency use authorization (EUA). 2.↩ The “Privacy Rule” refers to the privacy regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), 45 CFR part 160 and subparts A and E of part 164. OCR administers the HIPAA Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Enforcement Rules (collectively known as the HIPAA Rules), 45 CFR parts 160 and 164.

HHS addressed questions regarding the application of the HIPAA Privacy Rule to employers in the preambles to the 2000 Privacy Rule and the 2002 Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy Rule. “With regard to employers, we do not have statutory authority to regulate them. Therefore, it is beyond the scope of this regulation to prohibit employers from requesting or obtaining protected health information.” 65 FR 82426, 82592 (December 28, 2000). “[T]he Department must remain within the boundaries set by the statute, which does not include employers per se as covered entities. Thus, we cannot regulate employers, even when it is a covered entity acting as an employer.” 67 FR 53182, 53192 (August 14, 2002). 15.↩ See 45 CFR 160.103 (definition of “Workforce”). 16.↩ See EEOC, What You Should Know about COVID-19 and the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act, and Other EEO Laws, § K (June 28, 2021), available at https://www.eeoc.gov/wysk/what-you-should-know-about-covid-19-and-ada-rehabilitation-act-and-other-eeo-laws.
