+Vision:
+  * Vaccines save lives, secure global economy
+  * Much thought is given to developing vaccines
+  * Little support for those recording vaccinations
+  * No community organizes work of vaccine code experts
+  * No organization to call with questions
+  * No systematic collection of information
+  * We want to fill this gap
+  * Enhance global response to future pandemics
+  * Support broader goals of public health

+Updates:
+  * Syadem
+  * SNOMED & NUVA
+  * Signed agreement to make NUVA a community resource
+  * This is a SNOMED extension, global not national
+  * Same situation as with LOINC
+  * Next Step: is to work technically with them to make NUVA exposed on their infrastrature
+  * Use semantic like structures, straightforward to expose
+  * Mirror with NUVA
+  * Available using the same mechanisms as SNOMED codes
+  * Available by end of the year
