Rotovirus vaccine is only given to children less than the age of eight at 2 ,4,6 months and is given orally. I believe we should only ever use admininstration codes '90467' and '90468' oral administration for persons less than 8 years of age. Alternatively, could 90473 or 90474 apply?

While codes 90467 and 90468 apply only to children younger than 8 years of age, that is not the sole requirement for using the 90464-90468 code range. The physician, NP, or PA must have provided vaccine counseling and documented the counseling in the chart.
If the FP provides -- and documents -- vaccine counseling, you would be correct in using 90467 or 90468 for the administration to a baby. However, without physician or nonphysician practitioner (NP or PA) vaccine counseling, Rotovirus administration would fall under either 90473 or 90474.
