These bills remove the current required OPT-IN informed consent for adult vaccine tracking and instead requires a health care provider who administers an immunization to a person nineteen years of age or older to report such information to the department of health or to a regional health information organization unless such person objects to such reporting.
(b) (i) Any health care provider who administers any vaccine to a person nineteen years of age or older, [may] shall report [, with the consent of the vaccinee,] all such immunizations to the department in a format prescribed by the commissioner within fourteen days of administration of such immunizations.
The reporting by a (health care provider/registered professional nurse or a pharmacist) of administration of an immunization to a person nineteen years of age or older to a regional health information organization or other health information exchange shall satisfy the reporting requirements in this section if such data is provided by the regional health information organization or health information exchange to the department or citywide immunization registry.
However, no report shall be made under this paragraph if the person to whom the vaccine is administered, or a person authorized to consent to health care for the person, objects to the person who administered the vaccine, prior to the making of the report.
This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have become a law.
NVIC is opposed to assumed consent opt-out vaccine tracking because it could facilitate discrimination, harassment and/or penalties based on vaccination status. Opt-in allows people to control where their private health information including vaccination records is stored or shared.
