A home agency that works with the elderly should absolutely be 100% vaxxed, and those being cared for and those interacting (like yourself) with non-vaxxed individuals have an absolute right to know what their exposure has been. This is not a HIPAA violation since no health care professional is divulging info about one of their patients.

You have every right to be pissed and the company you’re working for is not being responsible. But it’s not like it’s a life or death issue….
