[Gnumed-devel] vaccinations (immunization codes and descriptions)

[J Busser]

I am following the egadss list, which pertains to building an evidence-based guideline and decision support system.

On the list was discussed a set of codes used in our province of British Columbia. It was built internally but forms part of a wider roll-out in Canada. Also mentioned is a system or initiative called iPHIS which I wonder if anyone is aware of. At any rate, I offer the list for interest:
