Because of this policy change, Immform have requested that 1^st Vaccination Pandemrix H1N1 codes are added to the vaccinations code group for seasonal influenza, so that the data provided for the January collection covers both the trivalent seasonal vaccines and the monovalent H1N1 Pandemrix vaccine.

PRIMIS+ have created an updated library (version 1.0.7) for the January collection which will be released by the end of today (11 January 2011). This version of the library must be used for this collection. No data will be accepted from any previous versions.

This library will be placed on the Profile Centre and will be available to update via the CHART Update Facility for users of CHART version 2.0.13. This is accessible from the “check for updates” link on the CHART front screen.

An updated specification (version 3.15) has been posted on the PRIMIS+ Profile Centre query library download page for seasonal influenza.

The codes added are:

fluVAX_COD: (Vaccination codes)

Version 2: 65E9, 65EB.

CTv3: XaQhq, XaQhm

FLURX_COD: (Vaccine codes)

Version 2: n47A,

CTv3: n47A. (optional)

Please note that no changes are to be made to the existing single Pandemrix count which includes Pandemrix dose 1 and dose 2 codes.
