For COVID-19 vaccines with CPT® codes falling in the range of 91300-91310 and having the Administered status, the system fills Admin CPT4 in the Vaccine Details tab of the Create New Immunization Order window with the COVID-19 vaccine code, based on the CPT4 code of the vaccine and sequence of dosage. If a vaccine from different manufacturer is administered as the second dose, the system fills the Admin CPT4 code of the second manufacturer.
