Topic: Android + Canada = SHC Verifier App not available

The SHC Verifier App for Android ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thecommonsproject.smarthealthcardverifier ) is not available for download from the Canadian Google Play store. The iOS app is apparently available to Canadians however.
Is this intentional, if not what's the best way to reach the app admins to enable it for download for Android in Canada?

Hi,
We are trying to identify the covid vaccine code with vaccine company name using this
http://hl7.org/fhir/sid/cvx
and we are getting this error:
"Internal Error - unknown id cvx (from crsid.asp) ."
Do we need to hard code in our platform that 207 means Moderna and 208 means pfizer etc. or smart health card framework provides this value by opting any other resources? is it dynamic ? if not then we might need to do hard coding of this.
Is it region or country specific? our end users are from US, Europe, UK etc.

@Poonam Kariya see https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/iis/COVID-19-related-codes.html - FYI, the CVX codes are used in New Zealand, so their use definitely isn't confined to the USA.

@Poonam Kariya I believe https://www2a.cdc.gov/vaccines/iis/iisstandards/vaccines.asp?rpt=cvx is the canonical list of CVX codes.
I recommend using this rather than relying on another representation of CVX codes. Using the official CDC list helps to ensure you always have the most up to date set of codes.

I'd like to improve the guidance around this in the IG. Logged as https://github.com/HL7/fhir-shc-vaccination-ig/issues/176

Why are you guys talking about CVX stuff in my thread about the android verifier app not being available in Canada... eh? ;)

Hah, sorry about that!
