description

Per VHA Directive, this file has been "locked down" by Data Standardization (DS). The file definition (i.e. data dictionary) shall not be modified. All additions, changes and deletions to entries in the file shall be done by Enterprise Reference Terminology (ERT) using the Master File Server (MFS), provided by the Common Services (CS). Creating and/or editing locally defined fields in the file are not permitted. Use of locally defined fields that were created prior to the VHA Directive shall not be supported. In order to preserve the continuity of files shared by the Indian Health Service and the Department of Veterans Affairs, this file includes fields used by Indian Health Service that will not be used by the Department of Veterans Affairs. These fields may point to other files and routines not deployed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Inclusion of these fields, as designed, was approved by the DBA. These fields were initially introduced with the release of the VISTA IMMUNIZATION ENHANCEMENTS 1.0 (PX*1*201) for the VistA Immunization Enhancements Project. Additional fields may be included in later enhancements. This file is a list of Immunizations and associated codes developed specifically for use in the IHS. This file contains a full descriptive name for each Immunization, plus a shortened name of Ten Characters which is used on the Health Summary and on reports where space is limited, plus a Two Digit Code for each Immunization.
