The vaccination certificate is a green booklet
China issues a vaccination certificate booklet (预防接种证) at birth, recording every dose with the date, the vaccine, the manufacturer and the lot, stamped by the administering clinic. It is required for school enrolment, so families keep it.
It is the immunisation record for an I-693 and it is a small booklet applicants forget to scan. We translate every entry including the clinic stamps.
Class I and Class II vaccines
The Chinese programme distinguishes Class I vaccines, provided free under the national plan, from Class II vaccines paid for voluntarily. The booklet records both and the distinction is visible in the entries.
A US reader assessing completeness against a US schedule needs to know that some vaccines they expect are Class II in China and may simply not have been given. We note which category an entry falls in where the booklet indicates it.
The record is held by the hospital
A Chinese medical record (病历, bìnglì) is retained by the hospital. Outpatients carry a small booklet (病历本) that the doctor writes in at each visit, and inpatients receive a discharge summary (出院小结).
So what a patient can produce is the outpatient booklet and discharge summaries rather than a chart. We name each document and the hospital, whose grade — class III grade A (三甲) and similar — appears on the stamp and indicates its level.
Chops, and the birth medical certificate
Chinese medical documents are authenticated with the institution's chop, a red seal, rather than only a signature, and the seal is what makes the document the hospital's act. We describe each chop and translate its text.
The birth medical certificate (出生医学证明) is a separate numbered document issued by the hospital and is the primary evidence of birth in China. See our Chinese page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page with no word cap, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
