Poisoning by oth bacterial vaccines, self-harm, subs

This code signifies an adverse reaction or toxicity resulting from the deliberate self-administration of a bacterial vaccine, with the intent to cause harm. The patient is currently receiving follow-up care for this poisoning event, which occurred at an earlier date.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's subsequent visit for complications, monitoring, or treatment related to a previous intentional overdose or misuse of a bacterial vaccine. This includes scenarios where the patient is being managed for ongoing symptoms or sequelae of the poisoning.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and specifies a bacterial vaccine as the substance.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial acute phase.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific manifestations of the poisoning.
