COVID-19 Vaccine New Code

 The American Medical Association (AMA) announced a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set update to include a code for administering a third dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine in children 5 through 11 years of age.


CPT code 0073A was added to the official CPT code set, effective immediately. The addition comes on the heels of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) decision to expand Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine emergency use authorization to include a third primary series dose of the vaccine in children who are immunocompromised.

The FDA’s decision to allow immunizers to boost certain children susceptible to poor outcomes if they become infected with COVID-19 is a welcome action, AMA stated.
