CDC WSDL Message Transfers

The standard interface defines the contract between the trading partners (Sender and Receiver). SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) web services use the Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) to achieve this. The WSDL for the SOAP web service is used as the contract between the sender and the receiver to pass the HL7 message as a string of data.

The WSDL tells a program that knows about SOAP exactly how to use the web service. If a tool is available that understands SOAP web services, the following URL is all that is needed to set up the web service. Please review the EHR documentation to determine all steps needed to set up the web service.

The CDC WSDL URL is http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/iis/technical-guidance/SOAP/wsdl.html
