      6/15/2018 - Resolved on the 6/14/2018 PH WG call. We agree that Immunization is the equivalent of MedicationStatement and MedicationAdministration rather than Medication. We don't currently have a need for the Medication equivalent (which would be Vaccine). Lloyd agreed that Immunization evokes the adminstration event rather than the vaccine. We've also discussed the possibility of changing Immunization to ImmunizationEvent, but we didn't think there are enough benefit to such a change. We will be keeping the resource names as they are

      Immunization resources are modeled inconsistently with other FHIR resources. "Immunization" modeling is consistent with documentation of an immunization administration which is consistent with modeling of Procedure but different from Medication in which the Medication resource specifies information specific to the medication. MedicationStatement specifies the information surrounding the medicaiton administration which is more consistent with the modeling on Immunization.
