Yes, and no.
There is now a CODE in your medical record. These records aren’t stored by the federal government, but are in the EMR of your health care professional(s).
Canada does have one common health care system where records are shared across the entire system, the US does not... don’t believe me? Every change physicians or insurance companies that are not related?
Getting your medical record shared isn’t nearly as clean as it should be.
So yes, your medical record at your provider will have an ICD code for your Covid status, just like they do for your flu vaccine status etc... why do you think they ask you those questions every time you visit.
However, No, there isn’t some big giant controlling authority that all those records flow to.
Not Yet😡
Big data is the point, though. The aggregate will appear.
You are completely wrong about this. There are over 30 government agencies that share our medical records. I believe this happened under obama boy.
Just how naive are you?
Yep,
One can only imagine the outcome if the VA and FAA shared medical data.
Not seeing it.
Yet.
“However, No, there isn’t some big giant controlling authority that all those records flow to.”
Anything digital, be it a health record, personnel record, email, cell phone call, me typing this remark - anything, is an open book subject to monitoring.
The day and age of a paper document being securely locked in a filing cabinet is long gone. Unless your a hermit living totally off grid high up in some mountain miles away from the next human being, you will have no privacy.
“why do you think they ask you those questions every time you visit.”
In December, my doc didn’t ask about the clot shot or the flu shot. I guess the “I dare you!” glare on face might have helped.
“there isn’t some big giant controlling authority that all those records flow to.”
But they CAN flow to the Fed government, and they probably will at some point in time.
When I had my annual physical in December the nurse asked me if I was up to date on my Covid and flu vaccines.
I replied YES.
I fibbed. I never got he covid. Have not had a flu vaccine since 2019. I probably will never get another. I no longer trust the medical establishment.
However, No, there isn’t some big giant controlling authority that all those records flow to.

Yes they do ask you if you’ve been vaccinated and yes I think HIPPA keeps them from sharing your medical history.
Your health insurance provider can come pretty close to that.
W.H.O. controls ICD-10 and has ICD-11 ready to release.
Yes - your medical records are available at the local, state/territory, national and international levels. Even airport screeners (eg. TSA) have read access to them.
W.H.O. Introduced a series of âÂÂDiagnostic codesâ that have absolutely nothing to do with diagnosis but rather âÂÂvaccination statusâ to be used to restrict International Travel. They allow nations to use them as they please so each codes purpose can be used differently from one country to the next. An example is Z28.310 (unvaccinated for COVID-19), Z28.311 (partially vaccinated for COVID-19) and Z28.39 (Other under-immunization status). In the US, The attending healthcare facility will ask if you have been vaccinated for COVID-19. If you say No, youâÂÂre assigned Z28.310. If you answer Yes, they will ask you if youâÂÂre up to date on your boosters and if you say No, youâÂÂre assigned Z28.311. This information in the US is shared with County and State Health departments and percolates to the Federal database where government agencies (CDC, TSA, etc.) have access to it. In addition, W.H.O. has access to each NationâÂÂs database as well as medical facilities in foreign countries should you require medical treatment or, as per original W.H.O. intent, the nation youâÂÂre visiting has placed travel restrictions on those who are unvaccinated or not up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccine.
I had a T-shirt made with Z28.310 printed in bold letters on the front and back I wear to the airport or any healthcare facility (hospital, doctors, dentist, urgent care, dermatologist, etc.). If ask if I have been vaccinated for COVID-19, I point to the letters on the T-shirt. You would not believe the strange looks I get because they have no idea what that ICD-10 diagnostic code is or means.
In the US, they are required to ask so they can be reimbursed for healthcare services rendered. If you are listed as fully vaccinated against COVID-19, they will not ask the question unless there is an additional booster requirement imposed.
I agree with your assessment of medical records and transferability but the CDC tracks vaccine status thru registration for vaccination. When you make an appointment at one of the authorized dispensing sites, you fill out a little questionaire that states your name and address and which stipulates which vaccine you’re being given. You are given a wallet card to carry. If you go to test for covid, same data collected, and you can go to an online portal to check your results. CDC can (and does) coorelate this with voter reg records to determine not only which areas are most vaccinated, down to street level, but also which political party or ethnicities are most or least vaccinated.
The forward implications of this is insurance companies accessing this information to make determinations on whether they will provide coverage once the govt mandate to cover treatment of everyone is pulled. That is, fully vaccinated, reinfected and hospitalized - covered expenses; not vaccinated, infected and hospitalized, too bad buddy, you’re not covered (medicaid and medicare likely being the only safe havens).
