"Viewpoint Search and REST Web Service for the Vaccine Code Set"
CDC's Vaccine Code Set Management Service (VCSMS) has launched two more ways to access CDC's Vaccine Code Set information: a search and browse capability via the Viewpoint website and a new Runtime REST web service. The new Viewpoint website provides dynamic browse and search capabilities against the entire Vaccine Code Set. The new Runtime REST web service provides improved access to Vaccine Code Set data by providing a way for development teams and other users to request specific data elements from the Code Set.
