Poisoning by oth bacterial vaccines, undetermined, init

This code signifies an accidental or intentional exposure to a bacterial vaccine resulting in a poisoning effect, where the specific intent (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm) cannot be determined. The patient is experiencing the initial effects of this adverse reaction.

Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms of poisoning following the administration or ingestion of a bacterial vaccine, and the clinician's documentation does not specify whether the event was accidental, intentional self-harm, or assault. This is for the initial visit related to the poisoning.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "undetermined" intent for the poisoning.
• Always use in conjunction with codes for the specific symptoms or manifestations of the poisoning.
• Verify that the encounter is the first for this specific poisoning event.
