The systolic and diastolic arterial pressure measurement recorded during a vaccination encounter as part of pre-administration screening or routine vital sign documentation. Used in immunization clinical records to assess patient stability and identify contraindications before vaccine administration proceeds.

Used in immunization scheduling systems to track appointment utilization, reschedule outreach, and maintain accurate immunization history records.
A classification grouping that identifies the type or disease target of a vaccine, such as influenza, COVID-19, hepatitis, or childhood series. Used in immunization registries and public health reporting to organize vaccine records, support coverage analysis, and align with standardized immunization schedule categories.
The fee assessed for vaccination services including vaccine product cost and administration charges submitted on a claim or billing statement.

Used in immunization data models to maintain hierarchical relationships between related vaccine administrations within a patient's immunization history.
The name of the municipality where a vaccination was administered or where the patient resides, used for geographic tracking and public health surveillance. Used in immunization registries and epidemiological reporting to analyze vaccination coverage rates and identify underserved communities across geographic regions.
A hierarchical tier or grouping that designates the broader classification of a vaccine, such as live attenuated, inactivated, mRNA, or toxoid type. Used in immunization management and pharmacy systems to organize vaccine inventory, apply storage requirements, and support clinical decision support rules for contraindication checking.
A standardized coded value, such as a CVX or CPT code, that uniquely identifies a specific vaccine product or immunization service. Used across immunization registries, claims systems, and clinical records to enable consistent identification, reporting, and tracking of vaccine administrations in compliance with national coding standards.

A flag designating whether an immunization record should be restricted from standard disclosure, protecting sensitive vaccination data from being shared without explicit patient consent, often applicable in adolescent or behavioral health immunization contexts.
The fixed out-of-pocket dollar amount the patient is responsible for paying at the time an immunization is administered, as defined by their health plan benefit structure and recorded for billing reconciliation and patient financial liability tracking.
A numeric value representing the total number of immunization doses administered to a patient within a defined timeframe or series, used to track dose sequencing, series completion status, and compliance with recommended immunization schedules.
The name or code of the nation where an immunization was administered. Captured in immunization records to support international travel health documentation, vaccine lot traceability, and cross-border public health surveillance reporting.
The username or system identifier of the user or process that initially entered the immunization record into the clinical system, providing an audit trail for data provenance, accountability, and regulatory compliance in immunization registries.
