And sorry but yes, revealing one's vaccination status IS protected health information. Just like a health professional ought not go ask that question to a patient, or if they did, said patient is NOT obligated to reveal this as, again, it is private, protected, health information.
Actually, it is not protected information per HIPAA (not wanting to get into a debate, but this is often misunderstood). Just passing along the information: Does HIPAA prohibit questions about vaccination? - Harvard Health.
Thanks for this!
