This content is intended to be used to query the immunoglobulins as active ingredient substances of passive agents that were administered in order to facilitate immunization forecast management. It consists of concepts from the Substance class and the SNOMED CT Substance hierarchy.
The scope of this subset is to describe antibodies associated with the passive immunizing agents (based on PassiveHistoricalImmunizingAgentCode subset) that may be administered to or have been received by a patient. Passive immunizing agents are used to facilitate protection against vaccine preventable infections, when vaccines are not available or are contraindicated or when vaccines have not been used before exposure to the infective agent. This is to facilitate population of a comprehensive immunization history, forecasting and inventory management.
The antibodies in this subset reflect passive agent products included in the Canadian Immunization Guide (CIG).
