Can I Require Patrons To Provide Proof of Vaccination?

Can I Require Patrons To Provide Proof of Vaccination?
The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) is not aware of any Virginia law, regulation, or standard prohibiting private businesses from requiring patrons to show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination.
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 to share vaccination information.

For more information on HIPAA visit: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-individuals/faq/index.html and https://www.dpor.virginia.gov/COVID-19/Mask_Vaccine_FAQ?fbclid=IwAR2-bvFoSCtVmTtp20j89pyAAmp_YiYhbQWeofjS_gCR9uPcqzkDXfN8m0w
