Topic: No vaccination

To express that a patient received no vaccination - as opposed to vaccinations unknown - would return an Immunizaation with vaccineCode = 998 (no vaccine administered) be the right way to do it?

@Craig Newman ?
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 22 2019 at 21:01):
If you're talking about a specific vaccine, you'd specify a status of not-done. If you wanted to capture that someone had never been vaccinated against anything as a general statement (not sure why you'd do that), then I suppose 998 could work.

OK, thanks @Lloyd McKenzie - asking because I am comparing to IPS, that defines a code to indicate 'no known immunization' -
http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/2018Sep/ValueSet-absent-or-unknown-immunization-uv-ips.html, and so I was wondering if there is an Argonaut equivalent
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 22 2019 at 21:09):
If you want to definitively say "no known immunizations" that would be consistent with Argonaut's approach to convey "none known" for allergies, problems, etc. - though the general recommendation in FHIR has been to use List for that
Eric Haas (Feb 23 2019 at 00:32):
no List in Argonaut.
Lloyd McKenzie (Feb 23 2019 at 02:08):
As I said :)
