They seem technical but are crucial to determine how well the vaccines are working and what their side effects are or aren’t:
The first has to do with how easy/hard it is to classify a Covid patient as Covid vaccinated in hospital EMR systems;
The second has to do with ICD U12.9/T50.Z95A (if you are a coder, you will know what these are) - whether systems are accepting them at all, whether anyone is using them, whether they impact reimbursement.
