Hi, the childhood Immunization quality measure requires 4 shots of PCV vaccine for compliance. However, according to the CDC guideline for catch up schedule for vaccine, children under 2 years of age can complete the series in 3 shots, this makes the child clinically complaint. The 4th shot is not recommended and hence not given. The UDS manual or measure specification does not mention any criteria or guideline to document this. The question is how do we show these children as compliant on the UDS report for completed childhood immunization with 3 shots of PCV. There should be some exception or specification for CDC catch schedule for all vaccines for kids under 2 years.

Please let know. Thank you !
