Right to Privacy

Unlike other states, New Hampshire's constitution includes a section in its bill of rights under article 2-b concerning the right to privacy.

[Art.] 2-b. [Right of Privacy.] An individual's right to live free from governmental intrusion in private or personal information is natural, essential, and inherent.

This right became important because it means that New Hampshire is unique in that it respects medical privacy in the Vaccine Registry.
