## Resource Profile: AIR Immunization Recommendation

Official URL: https://standards.digital.health.nz/fhir/air/StructureDefinition/air-immunization-recommendation | Version: 1.27.0
Active as of 2026-08-05 | Computable Name: AIRImmunizationRecommendation

AIR uses this immunizationRecommendation profile to communicate the details of scheduled events. The specification for this profile is available at https://mohits.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NIS/pages/3507781730/AIRImmunizationRecommendation+FHIR+API+into+ImmSOT.

To communicate. the details of a planned immunisation event. Planned events may be generated algorithmically based on a patient's characteristics and a published schedule or created by a health provider.

### Introduction

The Aotearoa Immunisation Register (AIR) holds a collection of "Scheduled Events", where each Scheduled Event represents a dose of vaccine to be administered to a person in the future. As an example, when a newborn is enrolled into AIR, a Scheduled Event is created for each jab listed on the National Immunisation Schedule (see this chart https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/immunisation-handbook-2020/national-immunisation-schedule).

This AIRImmunizationRecommendation profile is the primary vehicle used by the AIR FHIR API to transmit information about Scheduled Events.

​For more information about Scheduled Events in AIR, see this page: Scheduled Events

Usages:

- Refer to this Profile: Planned Activity Reference Extension
- Examples for this Profile: ImmunizationRecommendation/ir1

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
