Re: [Health-dev] Data elements for immunization record

[Maria Cecilia Santos Popper]

What a great job!

I think the injection site should be a drop down list.
In fact, many times the injection site of the same vaccine in depends on the age of the patient (thigh for infants and shoulder  but cheek for toddlers). Could it be possible to apply a kind of dds that would avoid for a practitioner to select a specific site depending on the age/condition if the patient?
What about lot number? I believe somebody mentioned this issue.
At least in Argentina, it is a very important field that is even written down in the patient vaccine report.

Just my 2 cents....
Regards
Cecilia
