The ICD-9-CM procedure codes would be 99.55, Prophylactic administration of vaccine against disease, for the pneumococcal vaccine and 99.52, Prophylactic vaccination against influenza, for the flu vaccination.Outpatient claims are coded differently with more complex specificity related to patient demographics, etc. than the inpatient ICD-9-CM codes.
