Odd Behavoir When Adding 3rd Covid Booster to Health App w. CVS Smart QR Code

I've successfully added my vaccination history, including 3 boosters for a total of 5 entries, to my iPhone Health app using a Smart Health Card QR code from CVS pharmacy. Oddly, the most recent booster appears in the Health app in the correct "Immunization" category, but not under "Covid-19 Vaccine." Rather, it appears under the anomalous heading "300". The four other vaccination records appear correctly under "Covid-19 Vaccine." What's going on? Advice appreciated.

Hi LN108,

For the most accurate information, the best step would be to reach out to Apple Support directly. They'll be able to look into this with you further. Contact them here: Get Support, or by calling the most applicable phone number from this list: Contact Apple for support and service.

Best regards.

Thanks, MVegas21. In fact, I did contact Apple Support and had a phone conversation. Basically the tech had no idea, and after consulting with others while I was on hold, told me it was the result of bad info/data on the QR code from my medical provider. The tech also advised me to try updated my iOS to the latest version (16.0.3), which made no difference at all.

The QR code data worked find for my California Digital Covid-19 Vaccine Record. So I remain perplexed.

I have the same. Found on CDC website https://www2a.cdc.gov/vaccines/iis/iisstandards/downloads/cvx_list.pdf that CVX code 300 stands for Pfizer bivalent COVID booster vaccine, so my guess is that Apple needs to update the Health App classifier to recognize the new code.

Thanks, Jack. This is helpful. Your "guess" about what Apple needs to do is a good one!
