This transaction can be used to retrieve documents from a SHR or document repository that stores health records. In addition, a vaccine verifier (point-of-care application or any authorized application outside of the HIE) can use this transaction to verify a Digital Documentation COVID Certificate (DDCC) Immunization event. This may include COVID immunizations and negative tests.
