When I got my Covid shot at Safeway they asked for it. I just didn't fill it out and no one even asked for it. I still had the record show up in Washington's vaccination DB, so it wasn't for that either.

I hope them asking for it didn't discourage someone without an SSN from getting their shot, since immigration status isn't relevant to eligibility.

I always leave it blank on the forms at doctor's offices and other medical facilities, no one has ever brought it up and asked for it.

Cable and phone and electric seem trained to ask for SSN. I politely say no, and we move on.

People volunteered the leaked info. Just say no.
