Action Code:
Records submitted to the immunization registry can subsequently be either updated or deleted by sending an action code in the message. For this, the immunization screen has a new field named “Action Code” and users will need to specify the type of action in the field when submitting the immunization record.
‘Action code’ is used to indicate the status or action for that immunization. It specifies the action that is being taken concerning the medication or substance being administered. It indicates whether the administration is an addition, an update, or a deletion.
| Action Code Value | Description |
| Add | Indicates that a new medication or substance is being administered. |
| Update | Indicates that an existing administration record is being updated. |
| Delete | Indicates that a previously recorded administration is being deleted. |
After updating the action code, the user has to resubmit the file, and then this will update the information in the registry.
