US Core Immunization Profile

activeUS Core9.0.0resource11 key elements

The US Core Immunization Profile inherits from the FHIR Immunization resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Immunization resource to record, search, and fetch immunization history associated with a patient. It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.
