Riikka Vuokko et al. Stud Health Technol Inform. .

Abstract

Vaccination information is needed at individual and at population levels, as it is an important part of public health measures. In Finland, a vaccination data structure has been developed for centralized information services that include patient access to information. Harmonization of data with national vaccination registry is ongoing. New requirements for vaccination certificates have emerged because of COVID-19 pandemic. We explore, what is the readiness of Finnish development of vaccination data structures and what can be learned from Finnish harmonization efforts in order to accomplish required level of interoperability.

Keywords: Vaccination; case study; classification; data repository; data structure.
