NewCa com: COVID-19 Canadian Vaccine Catalogue releases

Standardized vaccine terminology and product information will be critical in the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines to ensure consistency across Canada. The Canadian Vaccine Catalogue (CVC) is the comprehensive, standards-based resource for vaccine terminology and vaccine product information in the country. CANImmunize, which created the CVC, has updated the resource with the latest COVID-19 vaccine codes and information. It is essential that digital systems tracking COVID-19 vaccinations use the standardized terminology in the Canadian Vaccine Catalogue to ensure people receive the correct vaccine for their second dose, and to help with safety and effectiveness assessments, says Cameron Bell, Chief Technology Officer, CANImmunize.
