      <description
                   value="The Provide VHL transaction enables a [VHL Holder](ActorDefinition-VHLHolder.html) to transmit a Verified Health Link (VHL) to a [VHL Receiver](ActorDefinition-VHLReceiver.html). The VHL serves as a signed authorization mechanism that allows the Receiver to subsequently retrieve one or more health documents from a VHL Sharer.

    Depending on the use case, the VHL MAY be rendered or transmitted using formats such as QR code or deep link (HTTPS URL). "/>
