Update Encounter

Update a single encounter previously submitted via [Record Encounter](/api-reference/air/record-encounter/record-encounter). Use this to correct mistakes — wrong batch, wrong dose, wrong vaccine — for encounters your information provider originally submitted. Identifies the encounter to update by `claimId` + `claimSeqNum` + `immEncSeqNum` (returned from Record Encounter or visible in [Immunisation History Details](/api-reference/air/individual-details/immunisation-history-details)). Only encounters where `editable: true` in the history response can be updated by your provider. Requires an `individualIdentifier` from a prior [Identify Individual](/api-reference/air/individual-details/identify-individual) call. For shared response patterns and the full status-code list, see [AIR Integration](/air). #### Date format Date fields use **DDMMYYYY** with no separators. #### Fields you can update Send the encounter's full new state — AIR replaces the existing encounter wholesale. Include all episodes, even unchanged ones; omitting an episode removes it. The episode-level and encounter-level fields are the same as on [Record Encounter](/api-reference/air/record-encounter/record-encounter) (vaccine code, dose, batch, type, route, antenatal indicator, overseas flag, etc.). The vaccine-mandatory rules also apply. #### Status Codes | Code | Meaning | |---|---| | `AIR-I-1100` | Update successful. The updated `encounter` is returned. | | `AIR-E-1005` | Validation errors (e.g. `AIR-E-1061` invalid identifier, `AIR-E-1052` encounter not found, `AIR-E-1064` not authorised to update). |
