ALL Residents of Illinois Will Be INVOLUNTARILY Entered Into Vaccine Database If HB 4244 Passes On January 19
The Illinois legislature will vote to amend a law on January 19 that would authorize healthcare providers to involuntarily enter residents of the state into an “immunization data registry.”
Illinois House Bill 4244 would amend the state’s Immunization Data Registry Act to require “health care providers, physician’s designees or pharmacist’s designees” to provide the Illinois Department of Public Health with the private medical information and immunization records of every Illinois resident.
“Health care providers, physician’s designees, or pharmacist’s designees shall (rather than may) provide immunization data to be entered into the immunization data registry,” the proposed resolution states.
The amendment would essentially nullify the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which protects “all identifiable health information” from disclosure without a patient’s consent and violate the 1974 Right of Privacy Act,
