## Scope and Usage

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.
