Student Immunization Information

1. All items 1-48 are valid for interdistrict, Bright Futures and secondary transcript records transfer.
2. Transfer one record per student.
3. 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 the data unless found in Filler Reserved for Local Use (last 9 bytes of each record type). Please use some other appropriate character (e.g., SPACES) with which to initialize your records before sending them.
4. This record is required for all interdistrict transfers with the exception of adult students aged 21 or older. An adult transmission is identified as having a Grade Level of 30 or 31, and a Birth Date less than the transmission date minus twenty-one years. Both Grade Level and Birth Date are required fields on the I/S01 format. This record is not required when addressed to Bright Futures (95).
5. Required fields are indicated by an asterisk(*) next to the field name.
6. 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.

If the student has a social security number and provides this number to the school district, the Student Number Identifier, Florida, will have the following format:

If a SPEEDE/ExPRESS institution does not provide a valid social security number or high school student number identifier, the value will be "999999999G".

If the student does not provide a Social Security Number to the school district, the school district will assign a Student Number Identifier, Florida, to the student, formatted as follows:

First 2 digits
NN For any student entering a Florida school district for the first time, the first 2 digits will represent the district of initial entry into the Florida School System.
Last 8 digits

9 41-50 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 match those codes and definitions listed in Appendix EE of the Education Information & Accountability Services State Student Database Manual.

   
Second Character Dose in series.
Note: 0 should be used to indicate doses in special cases including exempt to indicate no doses required (such as physician's note documenting measles disease or laboratory evidence of measles immunity-this does not exempt the child from mumps and rubella immunization).
   
Third-Tenth Characters
CCYYMMDD Year, month, and day of the dose. Note: month and day may be zeroes if Vaccine Type is L.
EXEMPT If specific requirement has been exempted

See Volume I: Automated Student Information System, Automated Student Data Elements for a more detailed description of Vaccine Status, Date.
