Y62: Failure of sterile precautions during surgical and medical care
Y62.3: During injection or immunization
The ICD-10 Y62.3 code is associated with complications related to injections or immunizations. This means that there have been undesirable responses or problems that occurred during or following the administration of an injection or immunization. Complications can range from mild to severe and might include things like swelling, redness, pain at the injection site, allergic reactions, or more rarely, more severe responses like anaphylactic shock. It's important to note that these complications can be due to various factors, including the type of substance injected, how it was injected, the technique used, or even the body's personal response to the injection or immunization. Furthermore, these complications do not necessarily indicate an error in the administration of the injection or immunization.
