@ New parents, Shanghai has launched its updated electronic vaccination certificate.
Good news for families with cute little bundles of joy in Shanghai as the city introduces a new measure to make vaccination even more convenient. From January 1st, 2025, Shanghai will officially launch a new electronic vaccination certificate that covers babies and newborns born after July 1st, 2024 who are registered in the “One-Stop Service for Newborn” program in Shanghai. Parents can apply for this new certificate on behalf of their children, which offers multiple functions covering various aspects.
The Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau explained that this upgrade is part of the city’s commitment to providing comprehensive and convenient healthcare services to all families, reflecting the “People’s City” philosophy.
Here are the four main features and applications of the new electronic vaccination certificate:
1. Online Application Made Easier: Parents can apply for the new electronic vaccination certificate through the “ShenShengBan” App or miniprogram. After adding the recipient (yourself or your child, parent), you can self-apply for the new electronic vaccination certificate with an electronic signature. Successful applicants can add the certificate to their “My Documents” for easy access and future use.
2. Record Inquiry Made Simpler: With the new electronic vaccination certificate, individuals can view and download their personal vaccination records, schedule appointments, and check information about vaccination centers, including their addresses, service hours, and offered services.
3. “Code-Scanning” Vaccination Made Faster: After applying for the new electronic vaccination certificate, parents can use the “ShenShengCode” on the app or the QR code on the electronic vaccination certificate for on-the-spot identification, queuing, registration, and vaccination.
4. Clear Evaluation Reports: Parents can also use the self-service verification service for enrollment in nurseries, kindergartens, and schools to check their children’s vaccination status. The generated certificate can be exported and scanned for archiving at schools.
