Question

What is the National Drug Code (NDC) and Vaccine Administered (CVX) and thier lates versions?

Answer 1

Ans) The NDC, or National Drug Code, is a unique 10-digit, 3-segment number. It is a universal product identifier for human drugs in the United States. The code is present on all nonprescription (OTC) and prescription medication packages and inserts in the US.

- A few vaccines are packaged with two component vaccines. Each component vaccine of a multiple component vaccine will have a unique NDC which also differs from the NDC of the unit of sale.

- The CVX code is a numeric string, which identifies the type of vaccine product used. Taken together, the immunization can be resolved to a trade name (the proprietary name of the product). For example, a CVX code of 43 represents Hepatitis B, adult formulation.

The format of these codes varies within each component (4-4-2, 5-3-2, or 5-4-1). The combinations of these components have 10 numbers. In many uses, these 3 components are normalized to a consistent pattern (5-4-2) with dashes between components. A component is left-padded with zero (0) to adjust the size.
