🎇🇺🇸 CDC Set to Officially Recognize COVID-19 Vax Injury with Unprecedented ICD-10 Diagnostic Code ATLANTA, GA, March 18, 2026 – For the first time in US history, a dedicated ICD-10 diagnostic code specific for adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines is entering the formal process toward adoption by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics. The announcement is a major victory for those suffering from COVID-19 vaccine injury around the country. @React19org , the science-based non-profit offering financial, physical, and emotional support for those suffering from long-term Covid-19 vaccine adverse events globally, proposed the idea for the dedicated code. The proposal will now enter a 60-day public comment period, with the potential to be included in the U.S. system as early as 2027. Currently, no ICD-10-CM code identifies these injuries, making it difficult to properly track, study, or treat them at scale. This new code begins to change that, creating a pathway for clinical recognition, accurate documentation, research, and ultimately better care. Submitted by Joel Wallskog, co-founder of React19, this adoption marks an important step toward clinical recognition, accurate documentation, and future research. T50.B25x – Adverse effect of COVID-19 vaccines X= 3 designations: A initial encounter; D subsequent encounter; S sequela "You cannot treat what you cannot name. Today, we took a critical step toward naming these conditions—and changing the future for patients,” said Wallskog. While the adoption of the ICD-10-CM code and recognition of those suffering are steps in the right direction, advocates from React19 are urging the Trump administration to establish nationwide care centers where injured individuals can receive treatment and recover. REACT19 strongly encourages those who support patient recognition and care to participate once the official public comment period begins. Details on how to submit comments will be shared soon.
