ExtensionUKCoreVaccinationProcedure (Extension)	C		Extension	Element id Extension Short description An extension to hold an immunization procedure code Definition An extension to hold an immunization procedure code. Data type Extension Conditions The cardinality or value of this element may be affected by these constraints: ele-1 Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
id		0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Extension.id Short description Unique id for inter-element referencing Definition Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces. Data type string Mappings rim: n/a
extension	C	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Extension.extension Short description Additional content defined by implementations Alternate names extensions, user content Definition May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Comments There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. Data type Extension Slicing Unordered, Open, by url(Value) Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: n/a
url		1..1	uriAuto Value	Element id Extension.url Short description identifies the meaning of the extension Definition Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL. Comments The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Guidance

Whilst there is a binding within this extension to a ValueSet UKCore-VaccinationProcedure , an additional ValueSet UKCore-VaccinationProcedureSupplementary is available that essentially extends the UKCore-VaccinationProcedure ValueSet with SNOMED CT concepts that some systems may have used in the past on record entries that may also be relevant to the population of the UKCore-VaccinationProcedure extension within Immunization profile instances.
