The vaccine type code system does not include needed granularity. The codes mirror an early release of CVX, though CVX is numeric strings with minimum length of 2 (DPT = 01). The flu vaccines are among those where the codes are inadequate. They do not include nasal flu, quadrivalent flu, intradermal flu, etc. We would be better served adopting CVX or RxNorm or other code system that is sufficiently granular.

remove cvx from v3 publishing list - and get vocab to review the v3 code systems for other external code systems that should not be published
