Overview

The Two Shots, Same Vaccine Group, Same Day general rule states that if any two vaccines from the same vaccine group are administered on the same day and both CVX codes would be considered valid (based on minimum age, minimum interval, insufficient antigen, live vaccine interval, etc), ICE will:

1.)     If both shots are the same CVX code, then evaluate the 1st CVX processed as Valid and evaluate the 2nd CVX processed as Invalid with a reason code of DUPLICATE_SAME_DAY. (This scenario shouldn't happen with most registries.)

2.)     If one of those shots is an NOS CVX, then evaluate the NOS as Invalid with a reason code of DUPLICATE_SAME_DAY and evaluate the other (non-NOS) CVX as Valid.

3.)     If neither shot is an NOS CVX, if one is a combination vaccine and the other is not a combination vaccine, then evaluate the combination CVX as Valid and evaluate the non-combination CVX as Invalid with a reason code of DUPLICATE_SAME_DAY.

4.)     If both shots are an NOS CVX, then evaluate the first CVX processed as Valid and evaluate the second CVX processed as Invalid / DUPLICATE_SAME_DAY.

    1. EXCEPTION for DTP: if one shot is NOS CVX 107 (a pertussis-containing vaccine) and the other shot is NOS CVX 139 (a non-pertussis containing vaccine), then evaluate the CVX 107 as Valid and evaluate CVX 139 as Invalid with a reason code of DUPLICATE_SAME_DAY.

5.)    If neither shot is an NOS CVX, neither shot is a combination, or both shots are a combination then:

    1. For all vaccine groups EXCEPT for PCV, Hib, Rotavirus, Polio, HepA, DTP, and MMR, evaluate the 1st CVX processed as Valid and evaluate the 2nd CVX processed as Invalid with a reason code of DUPLICATE_SAME_DAY.
    2. For vaccine groups PCV, Hib, Rotavirus, Polio, HepA, DTP, and MMR, see the exception rules below. (Combination vaccines would be evaluated at the component level.)

PCV Exception Rules

Hib Exception Rules

Rotavirus Exception Rules

Polio Exception Rules

Hep A Exception Rules

DTP Exception Rules

MMR Exception Rules

Pneumococcal Exception Rules

Meningococcal B Exception Rules

If CVX 162 (Meningococcal B FHbp, recombinant (Trumenba)) and CVX 163 (Meningococcal B 4C, OMV (Bexsero)) are reported as administered on the same day, then:

However, if both Meningococcal B vaccines are administered on the same day, and one vaccine would complete a Meningococcal B series, then evaluate that vaccine as Valid and the other Meningococcal B vaccine as Invalid with a reason code of DUPLICATE_SAME_DAY.  (Example - CVX 162 (Trumenba) administered at 16 years old.  CVX 162 (Trumenba) and CVX 163 (Bexsero) administered on same day (at 16 years, 6 months old). Trumenba 2-dose series applies/Series Complete. CVX 163 would be evaluated as Invalid/DUPLICATE_SAME_DAY.)
