Immunization Registries Reporting

Immunization providers that have Electronic Health Records (EHR) can electronically submit data. This data will be transferred to the New Mexico Statewide Immunization Information System (NMSIIS) via automated data exchange. Please see the links below for information on how to get started with data exchange as well as resources and quick reference guides related to data exchange, HL7 messaging and data quality.

Data Exchange Criteria

A quick snapshot of what we look for when doing data exchange includes the following.

• Send Data via WSDL or Webservices — These are the transport routes that need to be used.
• We do not take SFTP transport.
• We will provide the Web Service Guide for Transmission when credentials are ready to be sent out to begin testing.
• Send Data in HL7 version 2.5.1 — We are always working to stay in compliance with the CDC standards and specifications.
• Send Data with CVX vaccine coding — We do not accept CPT vaccine codes.
• Send Data containing Vaccines for Children (VFC) eligibility if your location participates in the VFC program.
• NMSIIS will no longer be using VFC Funding Source VXC1 (VFC) and VXC 2 (State). If you use these codes, please replace with the Funding Source to VXC50 PEDIATRIC.
• If you are using VXC51 or VXC52 it is also recommended that you change to VXC50.
• Example of VFC Eligibility:
  • OBX|1|CE|64994-7^Vaccine funding program eligibility category^LN|1|V03^VFC Eligible - Uninsured <= 18 yrs old^HL70064||||||F|||20190102144046|||VXC40^Eligibility captured at the Immunization level^CDCPHINVS
