Mr. Wendelken claims "Inaccuracies": Would he/ RIDOH clarify the language in Bill H7882 page 2 line 5-10 “Provisions requiring the reporting of immunization status and *any other relevant information that the director determines appropriate* for all persons for the purpose of establishing and maintaining an immunization registry…” What would be an example of “any other relevant information”? Also , in line 9, what are “provisions of chapter 37.3 of title 5” ?In addition, regarding line 9-10 “any person may opt out of the disclosure of their immunization status by contacting the Department of Health”; would the RIDOH consider changing the language to “Any person may opt to join the registry by contacting the Department of Health” ?
We can all agree that a more effective healthcare system would be beneficial, but please clarify "Beneficial"? Do we want our our highly personal and sensitive information in a database where our information may possibly be viewed by "other parties" ? If RIDOH's true intentions are to serve the people, then the RIDOH should clarify and change the language to make the enrollment OPTIONAL. (and same for KIDSNET)
