Union Register of medicinal products for vaccines with EU-wide authorisation. The Union Register is found at <https://ec.europa.eu/health/documents/community-register/html/index_en.htm>. However, the contents of this ValueSet are based on v1.14 (2023-01-25) of the EU DCC value set guidelines
.
The recommended core data set in the WHO Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates guidance is intended to include the critical data required for interoperability, specific to the scenarios of use defined and driven by the public health needs. A published version of the data dictionary is available in spreadsheet format in Web Annex A of the DDCC:Vaccination Status guidance
and in an annex to the DDCC:Test Result guidance
.
DDCC:Test Result Core Data Set
, which includes Proof of Negative SARS-CoV-2 Test Result and Proof of Previous SARS-CoV-2 Infection.
DDCC:VS Core Data Set
The following table is an abbreviated copy of the DDCC:VS:Web Annex A
, the published version of the DDCC:VS Core data dictionary with the following differences:
Date formats are updated to be compatible with FHIR (this means that dashes are required, e.g., YYYY-MM-DD, not YYYYMMDD),
Only SNOMED GPS mappings are included (columns SNOMED CT International was removed, but values are the same as SNOMED GPS)
It will include mappings to the HL7 FHIR elements used on the StructureDefinitions for the core data set. (forthcoming)
ICD-11 Comments/Considerations for vaccines refer back to source content and a related note for readability.

Certificate schema version
Version of the core data set and HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide that the certificate is using.
The recommended core data set in the WHO Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates guidance is intended to include the critical data required for interoperability, specific to the scenarios of use defined and driven by the public health needs. A published version of the data dictionary is available in spreadsheet format in Web Annex A of the DDCC:Vaccination Status guidance
and in an annex to the DDCC:Test Result guidance
.
DDCC:Test Result Core Data Set
, which includes Proof of Negative SARS-CoV-2 Test Result and Proof of Previous SARS-CoV-2 Infection.
DDCC:VS Core Data Set
The following table is an abbreviated copy of the DDCC:VS:Web Annex A
, the published version of the DDCC:VS Core data dictionary with the following differences:
Date formats are updated to be compatible with FHIR (this means that dashes are required, e.g., YYYY-MM-DD, not YYYYMMDD),
Only SNOMED GPS mappings are included (columns SNOMED CT International was removed, but values are the same as SNOMED GPS)
It will include mappings to the HL7 FHIR elements used on the StructureDefinitions for the core data set. (forthcoming)
ICD-11 Comments/Considerations for vaccines refer back to source content and a related note for readability.

Certificate schema version
Version of the core data set and HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide that the certificate is using.
The following table is an abbreviated copy of the DDCC:VS:Web Annex A
, the published version of the DDCC:VS Core data dictionary with the following differences:
Date formats are updated to be compatible with FHIR (this means that dashes are required, e.g., YYYY-MM-DD, not YYYYMMDD),
Only SNOMED GPS mappings are included (columns SNOMED CT International was removed, but values are the same as SNOMED GPS)
It will include mappings to the HL7 FHIR elements used on the StructureDefinitions for the core data set. (forthcoming)
ICD-11 Comments/Considerations for vaccines refer back to source content and a related note for readability.
The following table is a copy of the published version of the DDCC:TR Core data dictionary
with the following difference: this version will include mappings to the HL7 FHIR elements used (forthcoming).
