Is this correct?
Pfizer and Moderna: XM0GQ8 'COVID-19 vaccine, RNA based'
AstraZeneca and J&J (and Sputnik V?): XM9QW8 'COVID-19 vaccine, non-replicating viral vector'
Novavax: XM5JC5 'COVID-19 vaccine, virus protein subunit'
Sinovac: XM1NL1 'COVID-19 vaccine, inactivated virus'

Interesting, I hadn't see those ICD-11 COVID-19 MMS Vaccination Codes before.
I'd been looking at the ICD-11 Foundation Codes from...
https://icd.who.int/dev11/f/en#/http%3a%2f%2fid.who.int%2ficd%2fentity%2f894585096

Does the WHO have an preference as to whether MMS or Foundation Codes should be used?

I got those codes from https://who-int.github.io/svc/refs/heads/rc2/ValueSet-who-svc-vaccines.html, that is referenced by the current SVC Immunization: https://who-int.github.io/svc/refs/heads/rc2/StructureDefinition-svc-immunization.html

Hopefully, there will be someone from the WHO at next week's GDHP/ONC mini-Connectathon on IPS who might be able to answer my question. ICD-11 (which hasn't been officially released yet) isn't particularly easy for newbies (such as myself) to understand. The descriptions for the Foundation and MMS Codes for these concepts are identical, so it's a question of which set of codes to use.
