Release Summary

VIS Code Update Details
VIS codes are created to enable provider systems to implement VIS 2D barcode scanning and to help automate capture of the specific VIS document edition given to the recipient or caregiver. VIS codes may be published in advance of the actual VIS document publication, but they are only in effect and useable starting on the edition date of the VIS. The URLs included in the vaccine code set will not point to the new edition until the VIS document edition date.
VIS URLs are in process of transition to the new website infrastructure, CDC.gov which provides an enhanced user experience. The new CDC.gov is described here https://www.cdc.gov/about/cdc-moving-forward/newcdc-info.html. During the transition period, original URLs in the vaccine code sets will be redirected to the new URLs. As new VIS editions are updated, the URLs for those records will be updated to directly access the new document URL site. At a future date, the old URLs will no longer redirect, and all remaining active VIS editions will convert to utilize the new URLs. Users subscribing to the vaccine code release notes will be provided advance notification of the upcoming conversion. For those who wish to update their original URLs to the new URLs in advance of that event, please use the “NEW VIS URL Table” information on the following webpage: https://www.cdc.gov/iis/code-sets/vis-url-table.html#cdc_data_surveillance_section_3-new-vis-url-table
