Does anyone else receive these alerts from the CDC via a flag ? When our providers give vaccines, occasionally we receive flags stating :
The following immunization, recently entered on this patient's chart, has been inactivated by the CDC and may not have been recorded correctly by the state immunization registry:
165 - Unknown
entered: 2017-01-30 17:44:28
CDC Notes - No notes available.
I checked the CDC website, and the vaccine is still active. (HPV9) Code 165 is active, so no idea what these mean. Worried that they are not getting reported correctly. Please advise.
Thank you

In our case, it is because the provider is choosing an immunization from the wrong custom list. If you have more than one custom list that could be the issue.
We have gotten some flags that were for Influenza if I remember correctly. I did the same thing checked to make sure that the CVX code we had loaded was still active, which it was.
We had this problem with the HPV9 as well. Our staff was selecting it from the correct custom list, and we were using the correct CVX code. We ended up working with our VAR to resolve the issue, which ended up being in the "tables" behind the scenes. So when the vaccine was loaded to our state's immunization registry (NY), it was actually sending the wrong CVX code - even though everything in Centricity looked ok. I wish I could tell you more about the tables, but that's all I know. Ours is fixed now. Maybe someone else can tell you more about the tables.
Patricia, does your vaccines go through an interface in QIE (Qvera Interface Engine)? If so, then you might be referring to the cross reference tables in QIE.
John, if this is what Patricia is referring to and you also have your interface going through QIE, then you may need to look at the CVX table in the System Variables for the Channel that is your Immunization Interface. In our interface the table is named "IIS-CVX-Status".
Gene - That is exactly what we do! Thank you for the additional input... that was what they fixed. Hope that's your answer John!
