China Issues First Digital Vaccine Record for Foreign Child
A Yemeni girl in Yiwu becomes the first foreigner to receive a digital vaccine record as part of China's expanded healthcare services.
Beijing, March 25 – China has issued its first digital vaccine record to a foreign national, marking a significant step in its healthcare services.
Sufyan Shomokh Marwan Sufyan, a one-year-old Yemeni girl, received this digital record in Yiwu, located in the eastern province of Zhejiang.
The introduction of digital vaccine records for foreigners is the result of collaborative efforts from provincial and municipal centers for disease control and prevention.
These entities have navigated technical challenges related to the integration of international vaccine programs, multilingual service requirements, and the recognition of non-Chinese identification documents.
This initiative extends the benefit of digital healthcare services beyond Chinese nationals.
Sufyan Marwan Sufyan Mohanmmed, the father of the child, expressed satisfaction with the efficiency and convenience of the digital record, which enables easy access via mobile phone.
He noted that this service simplifies processes such as vaccine reservations and school enrollments.
In response to the varying vaccine types administered in China compared to other countries, adaptations have been made to the vaccine record system.
These adjustments aim to ensure effective data collection and to prevent potential issues related to vaccinations, such as incomplete vaccination statuses or repeated doses when children enter school.
Lou Xiaoming, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, provided insights into these measures, underscoring the importance of organized vaccination records for children's health and safety.
