FLORIDA AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING EDUCATIONAL RECORDS
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
OFFICE OF APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT (OADS)

Revised: July 1, 2016

Student Immunization Information

1. Transfer one record per student.
2. The presence of binary zeroes in data fields causes significant problems for several institutions in the receipt of student records. A transaction will be rejected if non-displayable characters are sent in Filler Reserved for Local Use. Please use some other appropriate character (e.g., SPACES) with which to initialize your records before sending them.
3. Items 7 through 40, columns 37-345, of this format are structurally identical to items 7 through 40, columns 32-340, of the I02/S02 format transmitted by elementary-secondary institutions.
4. Special characters, tilde (~), caret (^), and grave accent (`), are used as delimiters in the translation of FASTER to SPEEDE/ExPRESS. They are reserved symbols and as such cannot be included in data sent through FASTER to a SPEEDE/ExPRESS institution.

Field Characteristics:

A = Alphabetic only
A/N = Alphameric
N = Numeric only
Z = Zoned numeric

9 46-55 10 A/N/L Vaccine Status, Date (1)

This is a ten character field which presents information about each of the vaccines required for children. For most cases, the first digit tells the vaccine type, the second denotes the dose in the series, and the remaining eight digits represent the date the dose in a series was administered.

There are also two special cases which will indicate that dates are not required for some individuals because:

1)  they have a medical or religious exemption, or
2)  they entered school prior to the time when individual vaccination dates were required - these students have been immunized.

Special cases:
Ten-character Code Meaning
8099999999 The student has been immunized, but dates are not available for the individual doses (the student's proof of immunization was an eligible form which did not require dates).
90EXEMPT The student has either 1) a permanent medical exemption for all required vaccinations or 2) a religious exemption (positions 9 and 10 will be blank).

All other vaccination information should be coded as follows:
First Character Meaning
A DTP (4-5 doses)
B DT (3-5 doses)
C Td (1-4 doses)
D Polio (TOPV, 3-4 doses)
E Hib (Haemophilus Influenza Type B,1-4 doses; required for public preschool, but not required for school entry)
F MMR (1-2 doses)
G Measles (Rubeola, 1-2 doses)
H Mumps (1-2 doses)
I Rubella (1-2 doses)

Q Td (Tetanus-Diphtheria) (1-3 dose)
V Meningitis (1 dose)
