General Update
- A duplicate shot/same day fix whereby, in certain circumstances, a non-combination shot might be selected instead of the combination shot.
- Slight change to the way the dose number included in the vMR output is determined. The dose number represents the targeted number of the dose in the series, whether the dose is valid or invalid (so, for instance, both a "valid" second dose following an invalid second dose will have dose number 2 indicated). However, if the patient has passed the eligible last date for a particular dose (e.g., Hib, Pneumococcal) and receives a subsequent dose, the dose number of that subsequent dose will indicate the count of actual doses received and will not consider the earlier dose that was missed which cannot now be administered.
