11.7 Resource Immunization - Content

Public Health and Emergency Response Work GroupMaturity Level: 3 Trial UseSecurity Category: Patient Compartments: Patient, Practitioner

This resource has been identified by FMG as a possible normative candidate for R5; this will be discussed with it's owning committee. Ballot comment is requested on this.

Describes the event of a patient being administered a vaccine or a record of an immunization as reported by a patient, a clinician or another party.

The Immunization resource is intended to cover the recording of current and historical administration of vaccines to patients across all healthcare disciplines in all care settings and all regions. This includes immunization of both humans and animals but does not include the administration of non-vaccine agents, even those that may have or claim to have immunological effects. While the terms "immunization" and "vaccination" are not clinically identical, for the purposes of the FHIR resources, the terms are used synonymously.

Additionally, the Immunization resource is expected to cover key concepts related to the creation, revision and querying of a patient's immunization history. This resource - through consultation with the Public Health work group - is believed to meet key use cases and information requirements as defined in the existing HL7 v2 immunization implementation guide, HL7 v3 POIZ domain and Immunization Domain Analysis Model.

Administration of vaccines is intended to be handled using the Immunization resource. MedicationAdministration is intended for tracking the administration of non-vaccine medications. Some systems treat immunizations in the same way as any other medication administration. Such systems SHOULD use an immunization resource to represent these. If systems need to use a MedicationAdministration resource to capture vaccinations for workflow or other reasons, they SHOULD also expose an equivalent Immunization instance.

While the Immunization and MedicationAdministration resources are distinct, they are both able to capture specific details of the administered product. Immunization.manufacturer, Immunization.lotNumber and Immunization.expirationDate are all used to capture data about the administered vaccine. Similarly, Medicationadministrative.medication references a Medication resource which is used to identify the administered product. Medication.manufacturer, Medication.batch.lotNumber and Medication.batch.expirationDate are all analogous to the Immunization resource elements and are similarly used to capture details of the administered product.

Immunization.reaction may be an indication of an allergy or intolerance. If this is deemed to be the case, a separate AllergyIntolerance resource instance should be created to indicate it, as most systems will not query against past Immunization.reaction.

This resource is referenced by AdverseEvent, ChargeItem, ImmunizationEvaluation, ImmunizationRecommendation and Observation.

This resource implements the Event pattern.
