Kozis WellnessUrgent NY Take Action: Adult mandatory vax database up for floor Vote in the Assembly TODAY, 5/30
Vote is scheduled for today, Tuesday 5/30, in the New York Assembly for A7154/S1531. This creates an essentially mandatory statewide adult vaccine database. Right now, medical workers are supposed to get permission of the patient to put records in the database. A7154 would require people to actively ask to be excluded from the database. This is another incremental step toward a mandatory vaccine database for adults and provides the essential information for future enforcement actions and vaccine passports.
Call your State Senator and Assemblymember to oppose this bill.

A7154/S1531 violates every principle of medical privacy.
A7154/S1531 violates physician’s duty of confidentiality.

This is the first step to statewide vaccine passports.

This is taxpayer subsidized marketing for drug companies.
Immigrant rights advocates are concerned it will be used to track and locate undocumented people for deportation.
