Can I lie to a doctor about whether or not I’ve gotten the covid vaccine?

I understand you’re at a difficult age where your considered an adult but are still your mother’s child. It’s can be hard sometimes to assert yourself. Your doctor does need to know these things so your best bet is to privately call your doctor’s office ahead of your appointment and let them know that you do not want your mother with you in your appointment. Or you could explain to them, just like you did here, that you got the vaccine but do not want your mother to know. They may notate this in your records and there will be no need for the doctor to ask in front of your mother. Good luck! 

It's better to tell the truth to your doctor since depending on what you tell him/her a doctor chooses the medications to take (if there's such a need). So a doctor can give you some medication that will hurt you because you did the shot. So, be careful with what you tell your doctor...

You're an adult now and no need to answer up to your mother, or hide the fact of your immunization, or even have her present in the doctor office

I don't know of any doctor who would allow the mother to be present when he is examining an adult patient. Let them be the ones to tell your mother to stay in the waiting room. I stopped going in with my daughter when she was 16. 

But no, it won't show up on your bloodowork. 

Never lie! They ask you for a reason. Some medications aren't meant to mix and can kill you. So don't lie. You're 18. Tell your mom you want privacy. And she doesn't have much of a say in what you do and don't do, to your body. Just ask the doc to that you want to keep your mother out of it. 

When you go to the doctor's office and register at the reception area, tell the receptionist that you do NOT want your mother to be present in the exam room (whether she's standing next to you or not).  It's YOUR appointment and you're 18. Anything you and your doctor discuss isn't any of your mother's business.  

You are 18.

You are switching to an adult doctor.

There is no reason for your mother to be there unless you have some impairment that requires an advocate.

It would be unusual for you to have her accompany you and unethical for the doctor to allow her to be present unless you request it.

Just go without her.

Since you refuse to do the adult thing and just tell her, i guess the only way to deal is to take the little kids way out and LIE. It won't show up in blood work unless they're specifically looking for it which they won't be.

My first thought - you are 18 - why does your mom need to be with you - make the appointment and go without her.  Do not list her on the forms as having the right to have your medical information.

You could lie to the doctor about getting the vaccine.  It shouldn't show up on anything because they won't really be looking for it.  It would not show up on routine blood work.

Then - in a few years from now - when you have grown up and mommy doesn't go to the doctor with you anymore - you can have your medical history corrected to show that you did get a vaccine.  

BTW - if your mother is anti-vaccination - then how many other vaccines are you missing - you might seriously want to discuss this issue with your doctor and see if there are any vaccines that you haven't had that might still be important to your health to get even as an adult.
