| DESCRIPTION |
In order to preserve the continuity of files shared by the Indian Health
This file contains the Immunization Manufacturers' LOT NUMBERS for the
immunizations/vaccines administered in the VA. The LOT NUMBERs themselves
may not be unique, but the combination of LOT NUMBER and MANUFACTURER
must form a unique entry. This file also relies on a nightly background
task that checks the entries' EXPIRATION DATE field. If the date is equal
to that day's date, or has passed, that entry's STATUS is set to EXPIRED.
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.
