(3) A COVID-19 vaccine administration site must: (a) Have a designated site coordinator.

(4) A COVID-19 vaccine administration site and staff and volunteers at the site are prohibited from: (a) Asking a person seeking to be vaccinated to provide their social security number. The site may choose to ask for a social security number for purposes of billing insurance, but it must be made clear that providing a social security number is optional and will only be used for purposes of insurance billing and is not a condition to receive the vaccine.
