Legal analysis: Once you’ve decided to get a COVID-19 vaccine, it’s time to start thinking about whether you’re OK with sharing that information and what you might miss out on if you're not.

With a push right now to develop what people are calling "COVID-19 passports" to verify your vaccine status, some places want to require this so-called passport before they’ll let you in to certain places, like airplanes, professional sports arenas, concert venues, and even restaurants.

Legally speaking, this is perfectly acceptable. The idea is a lot like well-known but recently amended "no shirt, no shoes, no mask… no service" policies. Private entities have the right to set rules for who can enjoy their services, and how they can do it, with very few exceptions. And asking for someone's vaccination status is not one of them.

But there's some confusion among people who don't want to have to share their vaccine status in order to enter places they'd like to go, and feel that to ask for this is a violation of their right to privacy concerning their medical records.
