clarification: a covid shot was given the same day as a flu shot. the covid administration is 90480. Will the flu shot administration be coded with a 90471 or a 90472 (because it is the 2nd shot given today)?

Looking for clarification. I coded 1-M47.26, 2-M48.061, 3- M99.73. Is this correct? If not why? History- Disc degeneration of the lumbar spine. Impression- 1- lumbar spondylosis, including advanced lumber facet arthrosis. 2- L3-L4 mod to severe central canal stenosis. Mild/mod bilat foraminal stenosis. 3- L4-L5 Mod central canal stenosis. Mild/mod rt foraminal stenosis.
We recently starting doing Peripheral Nerve Stimulation trials, CPT 64555 billed twice, and now they are wanting to do the permanent placement. This would be CPT 645902, 64555 & 64555 but it is within 365 days of the trial and I am unsure if they will pay the 64555 code more than twice in that 365 day period. Does anyone have any experience with this?
How would you code history of tobacco use, currently on nicotine patch? I have had this question come up on an exam, but not sure if I answered correctly. Thank you in advance.
