      Thank you for your question regarding CMS117v12. In the definitions for "Has Appropriate Number of Hib Immunizations" and "Has Appropriate Number of Rotavirus Immunizations," the 'distinct' keyword is used to ensure that duplicate vaccination dates are excluded. For instance, while the measure aims to include patients who receive either the Hib 3-dose or Hib 4-dose regimens (as specified in the "Has Appropriate Number of Hib Immunizations" definition), two Hib vaccinations administered on the same day—even if at different times—should be counted once for the purposes of this measure.

      For the conditions -
      Has Appropriate Number of Hib Immunizations and {}Has Appropriate Number of Rotavirus Immunizations
      The 'distinct' keyword used here, does this mean that all vaccinations (immunizations or procedures) should be differentiated based on the code? or is it something that the dates of the given vaccinations should be different?

      Need clarification on this.
