Unvaccinated? Here’s Your Very Own ICD Code Courtesy of the WHO

International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes are a system used to classify and code diseases, injuries and other health conditions.

They are primarily used for tracking and analysing health data, as well as for billing and reimbursement in the healthcare system. Periodically, the World Health Organization (WHO) updates the codes to reflect new advances in medical knowledge and technology. The codes can be usC

Last year, the ICD codes were updated again. However, this time they were updated to record your vaccination status.

Code Z28.310 is for the unvaccinated – If the patient has not received at least one dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.

Partially vaccinated individuals, those who have received at least one dose of a multi-dose COVID-19 regimen but have not received the full set of doses necessary to meet the CDC definition of “fully vaccinated” in place at the time of the encounter, have been assigned the code Z28.311.

They have even designated codes which give the reason why you didn’t get vaccinated.

Z28 codes already exist to record an immunization not carried out, and Z28.3 codes record underimmunization status but not for any specific vaccine.

Why have these specific codes for COVID-19 vaccines been added and why is there a specific code for the unvaccinated? This has not happened before for any other vaccine.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
