Although not a bad idea, we ourselves don't accept shot records that are patient or parent carried. Those few pages we insist go doctor to doctor direct, because there are so many people who have "doctored" them if you catch my drift.
I just want to know if vaccines being required for any kid to get into school, how come the rates are still so messed up sometimes? I personally trust my kids doc to properly track their shots and keep them up to date. I don't want my own kids in this stupid state run database. If a 19 year old can opt out, then why can't I as my kids legal parent and guardian opt out for them too? Why can't my wife the provider opt out as a licensed provider for personal and constitutional reasons???
We can't even violate citizen's rights in NYS to ask about their sexual partners even after they have tested positive for HIV, but now we will violate ever minor, eventually every citizen in the state, PHI, and privacy without an imminant health crisis? Just seems way overboard to me as compared to other laws and standards that have already been set.
The cost benefit, the balance of the violation of medical privacy vs the health benefit is just not there. This needs to be challenged on constitutional grounds. I could see it having a negative impact on things such as Roe v Wade even. If we can violate the privacy of patients and doctors for such weak reasons, then why not Roe? This is a bad slippery slope and we need to stand against it.
