What happened to the HIPPA laws with respect to personal medical information on vaccinations? Do we now need to report whether or not one got vaccinated for seasonal flu, shingles, tetanus, pneumonia? Or, just Covid vaccination?

Hippo laws are there for a reason. They’re irrelevant here. Point is if we had met the vaccination threshold we might not be talking about this right now.

Not entering the vaccinate/don’t vaccinate conversation but HIPAA doesn’t apply to as many things as folks think it does. It keeps your physician, their office, your insurance, etc., from disclosing your information without permission but outside of covered entities it doesn’t apply to anything else.
In almost any situation you can decline disclose for any reason. HIPAA just isn’t involved in it.
HIPAA is a really limited law with a lot of exceptions. I don’t blame anyone for not knowing it’s ins and outs.

Well it is HIPAA (look it up). It is very misunderstood, but only covered entities (doctors, nurses, hospitals, insurance companies) are covered. It is the Health Insurance Portability law (no insurance transaction, not HIPAA)
