Immunization not carried out because of oth contraindication

This code signifies that a patient was unable to receive a scheduled immunization due to a medical reason other than an allergy to the vaccine or its components. It indicates a documented contraindication that prevented the administration of the vaccine.

Apply this code when a patient presents for an immunization but a physician determines it cannot be given due to a pre-existing medical condition, current medication, or other non-allergic health factor. Examples include acute febrile illness, recent receipt of blood products, or certain immunocompromised states.

• Always document the specific contraindication in the patient's medical record.
• This code is for other contraindications, not allergic reactions (which have a separate code).
• Do not use this code if the patient simply refused the vaccine; use a code for refusal instead.
