Obviously, I got the vax, we all did, right? I even have a card. A lot of places around me require vaccination to go indoors, one in particular requires it

To participate in a local organization I need to prove I am vaccinated. No problem, I have a card. That's the very reason I got the card.

But some people have fake cards, and I worry that these people, who are suspicious in nature, will accuse me of having a fake card.

What are some strategies to deal with that? Is there a way I can get a new card and be less concerned about scrutiny? At this point moving to the safe confines of Florida or not joining isn't the option I would like. I just want to make sure I am not accused of having a fake card.

if this is the wrong sub for this, let me now. I am not a regular poster, just a regular replier. I may post elsewhere for more traction if need be Thanks.

P.S. To reiterate, totally Vaxxed, have the card to prove it.

That is 100% not true. You do not understand HIPPA.

Wow your reply with all the sources to prove your point are overwhelming.

Sure. Let’s get it straight from HIPAA itself.

Here’s the HIPAA LInk

https://www.hipaajournal.com/is-it-a-hipaa-violation-to-ask-for-proof-of-vaccine-status/amp/

Here’s a quote from HIPAA:

“HIPAA and Proof of Vaccine Status”

Vaccination information is classed as PHI and is covered by the HIPAA Rules. However, HIPAA only applies to HIPAA-covered entities – healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses – and their business associates. If an employer asks an employee to provide proof that they have been vaccinated in order to allow that individual to work without wearing a facemask, that is not a HIPAA violation as HIPAA does not apply to most employers.

It would not be a HIPAA violation for an employer to ask an employee’s healthcare provider for proof of vaccination. It would however be a HIPAA violation for the employee’s healthcare provider to disclose that information to the employer unless the individual had provided authorization to do so. If an employer is running their own vaccination program and an employee chooses to have their vaccine privately, that individual may have to authorize their healthcare provider to disclose certain information about their vaccine to their employer as proof that they have been vaccinated.

Asking about vaccine status would not violate HIPAA but it is possible that other laws could be violated. For instance, requiring employees to disclose additional health information such as the reason why they are not vaccinated could potentially violate federal laws. Furthermore, several states have passed laws – or are considering laws – that prohibit employers in the public sector from asking employees about their vaccine status.

Is this organization his employer?

Ha. You made a statement without providing any sources right?

You would sound more knowledgeable if you knew how to spell HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

Yep. You got me. I’m not knowledgeable at all. Without stupid people like me... really really really smart people like you would not have standing. Well done. Maybe if I work real real real hard, I could possible learn from someone as knowledgeable as you. I’m honored that you even took the time to comment to my incredibly stupid comment. I’m ashamed.
