Preparing for COVID vaccine codes in the vocabulary and modeling in the OMOP CDM

Only now I’ve realized why I don’t really like this mapping:

It’s valid while the only formulation exists. Let them introduce a lower dosage or something else, we are screwed up. For sure, official mappings will be fixed, but it’s an additional work and a big pain to constantly review the custom mappings done here and there.

But the problem is that we don’t have any better option - CVX is very specific too (or very general).

So this is another reason to build a homemade vocabulary for vaccines.
