Scott is a 15-month old child who presents to the vaccination center for routine childhood immunizations with his mother. He is given the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination. Assign the correct ICD-10 code for this case.
  1. Z21
  2. Z22.0
  3. Z22.2
  4. Z23
Explanation
Answer: D 

Z23 is the correct code for this case because it is used to code for encounters for immunization which is seen here.

Option B is not correct because Z22.0 is used to specify the carrier of typhoid. 

Option C is not correct because Z22.2 is used to specify the carrier of diphtheria.
