Can Employer demand production of medical records?

Published

I've never heard of this. I am told that one of my fellow employees is being required to produce medical records in order to keep her job. The records are pediatric records from when she was a teenager. The doctor no longer practices and the records are over 10 years old and not readily available. I told her I do not believe our employer has the right to ask for confidential health information. I'm not sure what this is about but it doesn't sound above-board at all. Pennsylvania is a fire at will state and there is no protection but isn't there something she can do?

Why do they want your records? Do they just want a list of vaccinations?
