Knowing Your Privacy Rights Before Signing Up for the Coronavirus Vaccine – NBC10 Philadelphia
Signing up for the COVID-19 Vaccine may mean sharing some of your personal information.
But who is seeing that info once you submit it?
According to the Internet Security Alliance, there is a way to know if a company plans to share your data. You can typically find that information right there on the registration form.
“That form could conceivably be providing consent for the provider to take your information and use it,” said Larry Clinton, the President of the Internet Security Alliance.
According to Clinton, whether you want your information shared is entirely up to you.
“Both federal law as well as Pennsylvania law say the consumer has the right to know what info is being shared and what is being taken and has the right to refuse to allow their information to be shared,” he said.
He also said sharing data could be a positive thing. Especially in the age of the Coronavirus.
“One of the issues we have with COVID is tracking,” he said. “If I’ve been in close contact with you and I find out I have the virus, let’s say it’s a public interest to be able to find you so that you’re safe.”
If it’s sold, your personal data may also wind up in the hands of marketing companies that could send you targeted ads. Or worse.
“On the downside, there are multiple issues with regard to health information,” Clinton said. “As I say, it’s very, very valuable on the black market. It can be used, sold on the black market so other people can get access to your insurance.”
Clinton urges consumers to read through all of the paperwork they’re presented with when getting the vaccine.
Deciding whether or not to share your data is a personal decision. If you decide to opt out, you have a few options:
Tell the company you don’t want to share your data, and see if they’ll let you advance without sharing it.
Report the company since federal law says you have the right to opt out.
Or, accept the terms and take the chance of having your data sold.

U.S. coronavirus cases eclipse 20 million
Daily cases averaged more than 178,000 and daily deaths 2,280 over the past week despite holiday data disruptions, according to the COVID Tracking Project. More than 125,000 people are hospitalized with the disease.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Friday said that the federal government must step up its vaccination planning and administration efforts. The effort to date “is woefully behind,” he said, calling on the Trump administration to add vaccination sites at schools across the country. So far the federal government is leaning on retail pharmacies and hospitals to administer the bulk of Covid-19 shots.
“That comprehensive vaccination plans have not been developed at the federal level and sent to the states as models is as incomprehensible as it is inexcusable,” Romney said.
As of Dec. 30, states had received 12.4 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna Covid-19 vaccine. But only 2.8 million people have gotten the first of a series of two shots of either vaccine, according to CDC data.
While the data is likely lagging behind actual numbers of vaccinations, federal officials have acknowledged the country failed to accomplish the Trump administration’s year-end goal of getting 20 million shots into arms.
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who sits on the board of Pfizer, has repeatedly called on the government to rapidly deploy all available doses of Covid-19 vaccines instead of holding back half to ensure second doses are available for those who received an initial dose.
Earlier this week, a new Covid-19 variant first detected in the United Kingdom that appears more transmissible — but not more deadly — was discovered in California, Colorado and Florida.
“I think we need a sense of urgency about this,” Gottlieb told CNBC’s Closing Bell Thursday. “And the new variant I think adds to that risk. Because if we don’t get control of this epidemic wave more quickly — and the vaccine is a tool to do that — it creates more opportunity for this new variant to start spreading more widely.”
