My question is besides the Z23 code for vaccines, if a patient comes in and their occupation puts them at a high risk for exposure to a disease, is there an ICD-10 code that can be used for an OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE RISK?

I found Z57.8 Occupational exposure to other risk factors but that fell under "persons with potential health hazards related to socioeconomic and psychosocial circumstances"

Any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you.
