Data Elements for Administering and Recording Vaccines

The table below provides the list of data elements used to test documentation of vaccine administration. The HL7 2.5.1 immunization implementation guide informed the list since the system subsequently transmits the data in a report to the public health immunization registry. [Each element is Required (R), Required if Exists (RE), Conditional (C), Optional (O).]
