Y60: Unintentional cut, puncture, perforation or haemorrhage during surgical and medical care
Y60.3: During injection or immunization
The medical condition referred to as "During injection or immunization" denotes adverse events that occur at the time of or following an injection or immunization procedure. The adverse events could be triggered by the puncture of the skin or muscle, the use of immunizing agents or other related factors. Symptoms commonly associated with this condition may include pain and swelling at the injection or immunization site, allergic reactions to substances contained in the injectables, and, in rare cases, potential infection due to unsterile techniques. Both the immune and integumentary (skin) systems are primarily affected by this condition. While usually non-severe, these adverse events can be worrisome and lead to complications if left unaddressed. It's worth noting that these reactions are not permanent and usually subside over time.
