BCG was discontinued, so its absence is not a gap
The Czech Republic stopped universal BCG vaccination in 2010, restricting it to children with defined risk factors. So a Czech child born after that has no BCG entry and no scar, and a US examiner looking for one will not find it.
That is a policy change rather than a missing dose, and it is worth stating plainly on the translation. Children born before 2010 do have it, so a family may show both patterns across siblings.
The očkovací průkaz, and the paediatrician
Czech childhood immunisation is recorded in an očkovací průkaz — a vaccination booklet — and definitively by the praktický lékař pro děti a dorost, the registered paediatrician, who holds the record.
A certificate can be obtained from that practice even where the booklet is lost, and it is what an I-693 needs. Czech immunisation is compulsory and enforced, so the record is usually complete.
The rodné číslo, with its slash
Czech medical documents carry the rodné číslo, the birth number encoding the date of birth and sex with the month increased by fifty for women, written with a slash before the final digits.
It does not change and it is the cross-check across a Czech file. We reproduce it exactly including the slash, which verification requires.
Diacritics, the -ová, and the abbreviations
Czech clinical writing is heavily abbreviated and Latinate, and we expand the abbreviations rather than reproducing initials. Diacritics are reproduced from the printed page.
A woman's surname carries the feminine -ová ending unless she elected otherwise, so a mother and child may appear under Nováková and Novák. One family name. See our Czech page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, 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.
