## Resource Profile: AIR Serology Report Profile

Official URL: https://standards.digital.health.nz/fhir/air/StructureDefinition/air-serology-report-profile | Version: 1.28.0-SNAPSHOT
Active as of 2026-08-04 | Computable Name: AIRSerologyReportProfile

This profile on the FHIR r4 Observation resource serves to exchange serology report information in support of the legacy NIR data flow that attaches serology info to an existing immunization record and re-sends it. It is cut down substantially from the base Observation resource.

Usages:

- Refer to this Profile: AIR Serology Report Extension

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
