Profile

Immunization	I		Immunization	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Immunization Short description Immunization event information Definition 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. Data type Immunization Constraints dom-2: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources `contained.contained.empty()` dom-4: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated `contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty()` dom-3: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource or SHALL refer to the containing resource `contained.where((('#'+id in (%resource.descendants().reference \| %resource.descendants().as(canonical) \| %resource.descendants().as(uri) \| %resource.descendants().as(url))) or descendants().where(reference = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists()).not()).trace('unmatched', id).empty()` dom-6: A resource should have narrative for robust management text.`div`.exists() dom-5: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label `contained.meta.security.empty()` Mappings rim: Entity. Role, or Act workflow: Event v2: VXU_V04 rim: SubstanceAdministration
id	Σ	0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Immunization.id Short description Logical id of this artifact Definition The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes. Comments The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation. Data type string
meta	Σ	0..1	Meta	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Immunization.meta Short description Metadata about the resource Definition The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource. Data type Meta Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
implicitRules	Σ ?!	0..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Immunization.implicitRules Short description A set of rules under which this content was created Definition A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc. Comments Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc. Data type uri Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
language		0..1	codeBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Immunization.language Short description Language of the resource content Definition The base language in which the resource is written. Comments Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute). Data type code Binding A human language. CommonLanguages (preferred) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
text		0..1	Narrative	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Immunization.text Short description Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation Alternate names narrative, html, xhtml, display Definition A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety. Comments Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later. Data type Narrative Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A rim: Act.text?
contained		0..*	Resource	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Immunization.contained Short description Contained, inline Resources Alternate names inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources Definition These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. Comments This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels. Data type Resource Mappings rim: Entity. Role, or Act rim: N/A
extension	I	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Immunization.extension Short description Additional content defined by implementations Alternate names extensions, user content Definition May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Comments There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. Data type Extension Sliced: Unordered, Open, by url(Value) Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
supportingInformation	I	0..*	Extension	Element id Immunization.extension:supportingInformation Short description Additional content defined by implementations Alternate names extensions, user content Definition May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

modifierExtension	?! I	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Immunization.modifierExtension Short description Extensions that cannot be ignored Alternate names extensions, user content Definition May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). Requirements Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions. Comments There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. Data type Extension Sliced: Unordered, Open, by url(Value) Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A

Obligations

Obligations are a new (and evolving) mechanism in FHIR to provide a consistent and machine processable way for profiles to define their expectations for system behaviors.

Earlier versions of the profiles exposed an initial set of obligations to garner feedback from the community on their use in Core+ profiles.

Obligations have been temporarily removed in this version to allow for further refinement of the approach against the Core Data for Interoperability (CACDI), which is now in development.

Terminology

This version of the guide is based on the early content development of the pan-Canadian Health Data Content Framework (pCHDCF). The pCHDCF is beginning to introduce recommended terminology for select concepts. Implementers should be aware that the identification of preferred terminology continues to progress and that some coded elements may have terminology recommendations added in future releases.

Note: Implementers should be aware of the limitations in some terminology referenced in this guide that is not fully expressed as an enumerated FHIR ValueSet or resolvable FHIR CodeSystems. Readers should refer to the Known Issues & Future Development page.

Bindings

Primary bindings are expressed in the rendering of the profile above (as well as can be found in the JSON/XML file).

Additional terminology bindings are also expressed in this profile to surface Alternate Value Sets expressed in the pCHDCF Data Content Standard.

Additional terminology bindings can be viewed by scrolling over the element in the table above.

Note: In future releases, the additionalBinding extension will be used to express the valueSet for additional negation/exclusion codes for reporting the known absence of immunizations. At the time of this release, the publisher of the current ValueSet for absence codes (IPS) is developing a SNOMED ValueSet that will replace the current http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/ValueSet/absent-or-unknown-immunizations-uv-ips

Mappings to pCHDCF

Draft Data Content Standard Element (As of 2024-06-18)	Draft Data Content Standard Element Definition (As of 2024-06-18)	FHIR Profile Element	Additional Notes
Immunization Status	The indication of the current status of the immunization event (e.g., completed, enter in error, not done).	Immunization.status
Immunization Reason Not Performed	The reason the immunization event was not performed.	Immunization.statusReason
Immunization Name	The trade name or generic name of the immunization product, and its associated DIN.	Immunization.vaccineCode
Immunization Date	The date the immunization was administered.	Immunization.occurrence[x]:occurrenceDateTime	Mapping of this concept could apply to both the dateTime and string data types, however dateTime is the primary mapping and preferred dataType to support to promote the capabilities to capture structured data.
Immunization Reason Not Performed Date	The date of an immunization refusal or deferral.	Immunization.occurrence[x]:occurrenceDateTime	Mapping applies when the status is 'not-done'. Mapping of this concept could apply to both the dateTime and string data types, however dateTime is the primary mapping and preferred dataType to support to promote the capabilities to capture structured data.
Immunization Reporting Source	Source of information regarding the reported immunization event.	Immunization.reportOrigin
Immunization Manufacturer	The name of the immunization manufacturer.	Immunization.manufacturer
Immunization Lot Number	The lot number (identification number) of the immunization product.	Immunization.lotNumber
Immunization Expiration Date	The date of expiration of the immunization product.	Immunization.expirationDate
Immunization Site	The anatomical site where the immunizing agent was administered (e.g., right deltoid).	Immunization.site
Immunization Route of Administration	The path by which the immunization product is taken into or makes contact with the body (e.g., oral, intramuscular).	Immunization.route
Immunization Dose Volume	The volume of immunization product being administered.	Immunization.doseQuantity.value + Immunization.doseQuantity.unit	To fully provide meaning to volume value under this definition, value and unit sub-elements must be used together.
Immunization Reaction Reporter	The individual who reported a reaction to an immunization (example: provider, person).	Immunization.performer.function + Immunization.performer.actor	The current definition for this concept implies that the performer is understood with a given function (reporter). The mapping is also based on the assumption that the reaction is captured within the record of the immunization event (instead of as an AdverseEvent or AllergyIntolerance). To fully provide meaning to performer under this definition, the Immunization.performer.function element must also be used. The mapping proposed is based on similar structures in national base implementation guides for other roles (e.g., approvers). Reviewers are encouraged to provide feedback on the mapping for this element compared to other alternatives (e.g. extensions, representation in AdverseEvent).
Immunization Reason	The reason why the immunization product was administered, for example, routine immunization or travel.	Immunization.reasonCode
Immunization Subpotent Reason	The reason why the dose is considered to be subpotent.	Immunization.subpotentReason
Immunization Education Note	The documentation of education and/or resources provided to the person or guardian at the time of immunization administration.	N/A	Expected to be housed outside of Immunization Resource. While the FHIR R4 Immunization resource has the education element, it was removed in later releases of FHIR and replaced with guidance to convey details on the education provided to the person using the Communication resource. To maximize compatibility with future versions of FHIR, Communication is recommended over Immunization.education.
Immunization Reaction	The type of immunization reaction, for example, rash, fever, anaphylaxis, etc.	Immunization.reaction.detail*	This mapping is inexact and the pCHDCF concept definition may need to be further refined to determine if the details are more appropriately housed in the AllergyIntolerance or AdverseEvent resources. Reviewers are encouraged to provide feedback on how this concept is currently captured in their systems today.
Immunization Reaction Date	The date of the reaction to the immunization.	Immunization.reaction.date
Immunization Protocol Series	The name of vaccine series.	Immunization.protocolApplied.series
Immunization Protocol Authority	The authority responsible for publishing the recommendations.	Immunization.protocolApplied.authority
Immunization Protocol Target Disease	The immunization preventable disease being targeted.	Immunization.protocolApplied.targetDisease
Immunization Series Doses	The recommended number of doses for immunity.	Immunization.protocolApplied.seriesDoses[x]:seriesDosesString	Mapping of this concept could apply to both the positiveInt and string data types, however string is the primary mapping and preferred dataType to support in order to maximize compatibility with future versions of FHIR (later versions of FHIR removing the positiveInt dataType from this element).
Immunization Dose Number	Dose number within a series (e.g. dose 1 of 2 for Shingles immunization).	Immunization.protocolApplied.doseNumber[x]:doseNumberString	Mapping of this concept could apply to both the positiveInt and string data types, however string is the primary mapping and preferred dataType to support in order to maximize compatibility with future versions of FHIR (later versions of FHIR removing the positiveInt dataType from this element).
Immunization Supporting Documents	Additional documents that provide further information about a person's immunization record (e.g., a record from a previous provider, public health unit).	Immunization.extension:supportingInformation	This extension is used to pre-adopt an element from FHIR R5 Immunization to support this mapping
