Should public authorities keep a record of whether or not you've been vaccinated?
Vaccination is a medical procedure. As such, whether someone is or isn't vaccinated could be considered a private matter (patient-doctor confidentiality), just like any other medical treatment.
If vaccination became mandatory, we'd have a different discussion. But if it's not, a public government has little argument to keep a record about your medical history, and, even less so, divulge that information to private actors.
Can private actors - venues, hotels, restaurants,... - force someone to divulge medical information?
No. They can't. They could ask, but you're not obliged to answer anything related to your medical history.
Could they refuse entrance if you refuse to provide medical information?
I'm curious when the first legal cases will pop up where someone decides to take a venue to court because they were actively refused entrance over being unwilling to divulge medical information.
