Vaccine documentation 2D barcodes are available on Vaccine Information Statements (VISs) and Emergency Use 

Authorization (EUA) Fact Sheets for Recipients and Caregivers, which contain information about the vaccination 

provided to the patient or their caregiver. The 2DBC on a VIS or a EUA Fact Sheet contains the Global Document Type 

Identifier (GDTI), specifying the vaccination product, and an edition date. These 2DBC can be scanned for entry into the 

patient’s health record to record that the information was provided to the patient.

The table below contains the VIS or EUA Recipient Fact Sheet 2DBC for routine and emergency use authorized vaccines.
