HIPAA has to be one of the most mis-quoted misunderstood things right under freedom of speech. It applies to medical professionals and businesses, they are not allowed to disclose your medical information. They must maintain your privacy. They can share with other professionals if given permission but must maintain security of the info. Finally they must notify you if there is a breach.
It does not apply when say a reporter asks you if you have been vaccinated or not. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but hipaa doesn’t play a part in that.
