  1. Build MSH/PID/PD1/PV1(optional)/ORC/RXA/RXR/OBX segments per the HL7 v2.5.1 Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging (Release 1.5)
  2. Populate RXA-5 with the CVX (or NDC) vaccine code and RXA-9 with the administration source/information source
  3. Send the VXU^V04 message via the jurisdiction's designated transport (e.g., MLLP, or routed through the CDC IZ Gateway) per its onboarding/companion guide
  4. Parse the returned ACK message and check MSA-1 (AA/AE/AR) plus any ERR segments for rejection detail
  5. Reconcile the submitted dose against the IIS's deduplication logic and watch for asynchronous merge/error notices that arrive after the initial ACK
