Can I ask Patrons If They Are Vaccinated?

Can I Ask Patrons If They Are Vaccinated?
DPOR is not aware of any Virginia law, regulation, or standard prohibiting private businesses from asking patrons if they have received the COVID-19 vaccine and are fully vaccinated.

Regulations of the Board for Barbers and Cosmetology require licensees to take sufficient measures to prevent transmission of communicable or infectious diseases.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) applies to healthcare-related “covered entities” and “business associates.” In most cases, the patient privacy protections contained in HIPAA do not apply to private businesses in retail, fitness, personal care, or entertainment sectors asking patrons if they are vaccinated.

For more information on HIPAA visit: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-individuals/faq/index.html.
