• Evaluation
  • RSV shots¹ administered to a patient age < 8 months outside the RSV season (e.g., during September, if the season has been defined as October 1 to March 31) will be evaluated as Valid with reason code OUTSIDE_SEASON. (Note: Patient is complete for the RSV Infant Series.)² 
  • There is no absolute minimum interval between shots administered outside the RSV season and target dose 1 of the next RSV season. 
  • If an RSV shot is administered at age < 8 months, and after the series is complete, then evaluate the shot as Accepted with a reason code of EXTRA_DOSE. 

RSV Infant Series Invalid CVX Code for Dose Rule
