Poisoning by oth viral vaccines, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from a previous act of intentional self-poisoning using a viral vaccine. It indicates that the patient deliberately administered the vaccine to themselves with the intent to cause harm, and they are now experiencing a residual effect from that event. This is not for acute poisoning, but rather for conditions that persist after the initial poisoning has been treated.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic organ damage, neurological deficit, persistent allergic reaction) directly attributable to a past intentional self-poisoning with a viral vaccine. This code is appropriate when the patient is no longer in the acute phase of poisoning but is being treated for a lasting complication. It should be used in conjunction with a code for the specific sequela being treated.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific condition or symptom being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-poisoning by a viral vaccine.
• Do not use this code for accidental poisoning or adverse effects of properly administered vaccines.
