This page specifies the COVID-19 logic implemented by ICE for recommendations before September 12, 2023.


For COVID-19 logic for recommendations as of September 12, 2023 onwards, see COVID-19 Vaccine Group - September 2023 Onwards. 


Two Shot Same Day Exception Rules for COVID-19

For COVID-19 shots administered:

  • before 10/25/2021, the Duplicate Shot, Same Day rules do NOT apply because absolute minimum intervals between dose 1 and dose 2 = 0 days (before 10/25/2021) in both the Pfizer COVID-19 2-dose series and Moderna COVID-19 2-dose series. 
  • on or after 10/25/2021, the Duplicate Shot, Same Day rules apply because absolute minimum intervals between dose 1 and dose 2 > 0 days (on or after 10/25/2021) in both the Pfizer COVID-19 2-dose series and Moderna COVID-19 2-dose series.

        • Example #2: Patient has 1 shot of CVX 208 (Pfizer), then 1 shot of CVX 501 on record. 
          • Evaluate CVX 208 as Valid and CVX 501 as Invalid / VACCINE_NOT_APPROVED_IN_US_OR_BY_WHO.
          • Recommend COVID-19 at the vaccine group level for Target Dose 2 at CVX 501 + recommended interval (28 days). 
      • If one of the above listed COVID-19 vaccine is NOT the last COVID-19 shot administered, recommend based on the series that applies for the last COVID-19 shot administered.
        • Example: If CVX 208 (Pfizer) is given after CVX 501, then recommend based on the Pfizer COVID-19 2-dose Series.

Series Name

  • Pfizer COVID-19 Series

  • Moderna COVID-19 Series

  • Mixed Product COVID-19 Series

  • Janssen COVID-19 Series

  • Novavax COVID-19 Series

Series Selection Rules

There are five series for this vaccine group: Pfizer COVID-19 Series, Moderna COVID-19 Series, Mixed Product COVID-19 Series, Janssen COVID-19 Series, and Novavax COVID-19 Series. The rules for determining which series applies are:

  • If there are no doses on record, then the Mixed Product COVID-19 Series applies.
  • If there are doses on record:
    • If dose 1 is CVX 212, then the Janssen COVID-19 1-dose series applies.
    • If all administered primary series doses are a Pfizer vaccine, then the Pfizer COVID-19 Series applies.
    • If all administered primary series doses are a Moderna vaccine, then the Moderna COVID-19 Series applies.
    • If all administered primary series doses are a Novavax vaccine, then the Novavax COVID-19 Series applies.
    • If none of the above four conditions is true, then the Mixed Product COVID-19 Series applies.
    • If a series selected via one of the above conditions is not complete but another series is complete, select the complete series.
    • If a series selected via one of the above conditions is complete but another series is also complete at an earlier date, select the series that completed at the earlier date.

Immunization Series: Pfizer COVID-19 Series 

The Pfizer COVID-19 Series is complete after 2 or 3 doses, depending on age (not including booster dose(s)).

Series Special Rules

  • If the patient receives a shot at < 6 months old, evaluate the shot as Valid, with reason code SUPPLEMENTAL_TEXT; Descriptive Text: "The timing of the administration of this shot does not follow the guidelines regarding the minimum age."

  • If a Moderna bivalent vaccine (CVX 229, CVX 230) is inadvertently administered for the primary series, the shot is INVALID with reason code VACCINE_NOT_ALLOWED_FOR_THIS_DOSE. Ignore the bivalent vaccine (CVX 229, CVX 230) when determining the recommended due date for the next target dose due and when evaluating the next shot based on the absolute minimum interval for that target dose.
  • If CVX 302 is administered for target dose 3, there is no absolute maximum age for the vaccine.
  • If the patient receives a (valid) dose at >= 5 years of age and the shot was administered >= 4/19/2023, the series is complete.  

Vaccine to Recommend

  • Recommend at the vaccine group level.

Skip Dose Rule

  • Target Dose 3

    • If 2 or more doses were previously administered >= 5 years of age, target dose 3 is not needed. The series is complete.

    • If 2 doses of CVX 208, CVX 217, CVX 218, CVX 300 or CVX 301 were previously administered, target dose 3 is not needed. The series is complete.

Rule for CVX 212 (Janssen COVID-19 vaccine) 

  • If CVX 212 (Janssen COVID-19 vaccine) is reported for Target Dose 2, or Target Dose 3, the Janssen COVID-19 Series applies and the series is complete. Therefore,  

    • evaluate the Target Dose (CVX 212) as Valid.

    • evaluate prior Target Doses as Accepted and the reason code is VACCINE_NOT_COUNTED_BASED_ON_MOST_RECENT_VACCINE_GIVEN.
