Y58.3: Plague vaccine
The ICD-10 Y58.3 code relates to issues associated with the plague vaccine and not a medical condition itself. Plague is a life-threatening disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and is typically transmitted to humans through a bite from an infected flea. The vaccine is used to provide potential immunity against this serious illness. However, like any vaccine, it can sometimes result in adverse effects or a negative reaction. These reactions often include common symptoms such as redness or swelling at the injection site, slight fever, or mild aches. In rare cases, more serious reactions may occur. These are immediate medical concerns and typically relate to an allergic response to the vaccine, which could involve difficulty breathing, dizziness, or swelling around the mouth and face.
