Immunization Cross-Reference File
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed and maintains
tables for both Vaccine Administered (CVX) and Manufacturers of Vaccines (MVX).
The use of CVX and MVX codes enables a common terminology between the healthcare
professional and immunization registries at a local, state, or national level.
The Immunization Cross-Reference File was developed to enable customers to map
vaccines and their manufacturers, defined by Medi-Span concepts, to CDC’s CVX
and MVX codes.
