Once the FDA authorized a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the American Medical Association released new administration codes. These codes cover the actual work of administering the vaccine, in addition to the counseling provided to patients or caregivers and, of course, updating the electronic record. The codes are:
For Pfizer:
- 0003A – Immunization administration by intramuscular injection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (coronavirus disease [COVID-19]) vaccine, mRNA-LNP, spike protein, preservative free, 30 mcg/0.3 mL dosage, diluent reconstituted; third dose
For Moderna
- 0013A – Immunization administration by intramuscular injection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (coronavirus disease [COVID-19]) vaccine, mRNA-LNP, spike protein, preservative free, 100 mcg/0.5 mL dosage; third dose
