Y58.8: Mixed bacterial vaccines, except combinations with a pertussis component
The term "Mixed bacterial vaccines, except combinations with a pertussis component" refers to inoculations designed to protect against various types of bacterial infections. These vaccines contain weakened or dead strains of multiple bacteria, but they do not contain a component for preventing pertussis, also known as whooping cough. The purpose of these vaccines is to stimulate the body's immune system to build a defense against these bacteria without causing the actual illness. Symptoms of the infections these bacterial vaccines prevent can be varied, depending on the specific bacteria, but may include fever, fatigue, headache, or more specific symptoms such as respiratory issues or diarrhea. The progression of these diseases, absent vaccination, could range from mild discomfort to severe illness and can affect various systems in the body.
