Y58: Bacterial vaccines

Y58.2: Cholera vaccine

The ICD-10 code Y58.2 refers to instances where adverse effects are experienced following the administration of the cholera vaccine. The cholera vaccine is used to stimulate the body's immune response against the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which causes cholera, a highly contagious disease primarily spread through contaminated water. In some individuals, the vaccine may lead to undesired side effects. These adverse effects can range from minor and temporary discomforts such as mild fever, swelling at the injection site, or digestive upset, to more severe but exceptionally rare complications like allergic reactions. The severity and nature of these side effects can vary from person to person, based on factors such as individual health conditions, immune status, and age.
