Banning Vaccine Passports and Protecting Against COVID-19 Vaccination Discrimination.

This Act aims to shield citizens from discrimination in employment and public services based on their COVID-19 vaccination status. It establishes strict privacy rules for vaccination records, prohibiting the federal government from creating vaccine passports and mandating the destruction of collected data. Furthermore, it reinforces the right to informed consent for vaccinations, especially those authorized only under emergency use.
Key points
Federal government is prohibited from creating or collaborating on vaccine passports or tracking databases for COVID-19 vaccination status.
Stronger medical privacy: Vaccination records are protected under HIPAA, and individuals can request the deletion of their status information from databases.
Discrimination based on vaccination status is banned in employment, public accommodations, and access to federal/public services (including voting rights).
Informed consent is required for receiving vaccines authorized solely under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), with civil and criminal penalties for privacy violations.
