Poisn by mixed bact vaccines w/o a pertuss, assault, init

This code indicates a patient has experienced an adverse effect or toxicity resulting from the intentional administration of a bacterial vaccine that does not contain a pertussis component, with the intent to harm. This poisoning is a direct consequence of an assault.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient was poisoned by a non-pertussis bacterial vaccine due to an assault. This would be used for the initial encounter for treatment of the acute poisoning event. Examples include intentional injection of a tetanus or diphtheria toxoid vaccine with malicious intent.

• Always ensure the documentation explicitly states "assault" as the intent of the poisoning.
• Verify the vaccine involved is a bacterial vaccine and specifically excludes a pertussis component.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the poisoning; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
