95793-6

LOINC code 95793-6 identifies "Immunization priority tier". The vaccination priority tier depends on the severity of an infectious disease outbreak as well as the population group that a patient belongs to. For any given severity of outbreak or pandemic, a single population group falls into a single tier. So for example, in a low or moderate severity pandemic, a child between the ages of 3-18 without high risk conditions might be in tier 2 for vaccination priority, but as the pandemic worsens, they may be re-assigned to tier 3.

This code measures Immunization priority tier in ^Patient. It belongs to the PUBLICHEALTH class in the LOINC classification.

LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is a universal standard for identifying laboratory and clinical observations. It is maintained by the Regenstrief Institute and used worldwide for health data exchange.
