CMS Response to Public Comments Received for CMS-10757
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid received one comment from a citizen. Below is the reconciliation of the comment.
Comment: Information should also be collected, and available from CMS, on Covid19 vaccination, so that it can be established from official government records that a person has been vaccinated for Covid 19, the type of vaccine received, the dates of vaccination, and the location or entity that performed the vaccination. For example, thousands of veterans have been vaccinated at various Veterans Administration hospitals, and those records should be collated and available to individuals who want to document officially that they have been vaccinated.
Response: This information collection aims to obtain COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) test results, not epidemiological vaccine data. While CMS appreciates the suggestion and concern expressed by this commenter, the collection of information on vaccine status is not within the CLIA program’s purview.
