      Immunization.protocolApplied (which does house the doseNumber element) is intented to capture the intent of the provider at the time of immunization, not an independent evaluation of the dose against a set of recommendations. This is captured by ImmunizationEvaluation where it is possible to document both the dose number and the number of expected doses in the series using the doseNumber and seriesDoses elements.

      We will update Immunization.protocolApplied to include seriesDoses (as implemented in ImmunizationEvaluation) but the cardinality will be 0..1 so that it is not required (but can be constrained by future profiles if necessary)

      Missing Immunization.doseNumber

      doseNumber is included in ImmunizationEvaluation resource but not in Immunization resource

      This is an important requirement as the vaccination record should contain information about dose number administered (e.g. dose 2 of 3 of hepatitis B vaccine)

      If this information is not included in Immunization resource, how can ImmunizationEvaluation know whether the vaccination schedule is complete?
