Vaccination

This data model communicates details like specific immunization administered, the site and route of administration, and which provider administered it. These messages are useful if you want to know when a vaccination has been administered since the messages are typically triggered at the time of administration, not ordering.

This data model has event types that allow you to:

  • receive a notification about vaccine administrations; or
  • query for and receive a patient's vaccination details.
EHR support for Vaccination

EHR systems with an ambulatory focus often support exchanging vaccination data typically via HL7v2 VXU messages. Supporting vaccination data exchange also meets Meaningful Use 2 criteria.
