• 4 options were discussed on how to set up the stream
• Further discussion will take place on the January 26th PH work group meeting

Immunization Resource FMM (update)

• Follow up from Tues. Q4 Immunization Roundtable
  • During Tuesday's meeting it was determined the Immunization resource was at level 4 maturity because the total number of implementations were not known.
