Adobe Acrobat print-friendly PDF file. Printable version of CVX -- Vaccines Administered

The CDC's National Center of Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) maintains the HL7 external code set CVX. The implementation of the HL7 standard for immunization data exchange is described in Chapter 4 of the HL7 standard. The codes in HL7 Version 2.3 table 0292, represented the initial content of the external CVX code set. Since vaccines have to be added to this table more quickly than new versions of HL7 are released, this document represents the most up-to-date version of the CVX code set. Items have been added. Others have been added for planning purposes, pending FDA approval.

Usage Notes:

1NOS=not otherwise specified; avoid using NOS codes except to record historical records that lack the indicated specificity.
2As of August 27, 1998, Merck ceased distribution of their adolescent/high risk infant hepatitis B vaccine dosage. Code 42 should only be used to record historical records. For current administration of hepatitis B vaccine, pediatric/adolescent dosage, use code 08.
3Code 99 will not be used in this table to avoid confusion with code 999.
4As of September 1999, a 2-dose hepatitis B schedule for adolescents (11-15 year olds) was FDA approved for Merck's Recombivax HB® adult formulation. Use code 43 for both the 2-dose and the 3- dose schedules.
5Code 998 was added for use in VXR and VXU HL7 messages where the OBX segment is nested with the RXA segment, but the message does not contain information about a vaccine administration. An example of this use is to report the vaccines due next for a patient when no vaccine administration is being reported.
6As of May 2002, the FDA approved Aventis Pasteur's DTaP Daptacel for use in the U.S. Aventis Pasteur also manufactures the DTaP vaccine Tripedia. Daptacel contains 5 pertussis antigens, while Tripedia contains 2 pertussis antigens. To distinguish between the two Aventis Pasteur DTaP vaccines, code 106 was added to represent Daptacel. Use code 106 for Daptacel and code 20 for Tripedia and other DTaP vaccines.
