Question
What documents are needed to replace a child’s vaccination record? If the record is lost, can the child still receive vaccinations this period? Can the recently administered Lanzhijing vaccine be taken home by the parent for the child to take independently?
Answer
To replace a child’s vaccination record, typically you will need the child’s identification documents, such as a household registration book or ID card. If the record is lost, you can still carry valid identification to the vaccination center for vaccination. The recently administered Lanzhijing vaccine is an oral medication and should be administered at the vaccination center according to the doctor’s instructions; it should not be taken home by the parent for the child to take independently. Below is a schedule of the child’s vaccination:
- At birth: BCG vaccine, Hepatitis B vaccine (basic)
- One month: Hepatitis B vaccine (basic)
- Two months: Polio vaccine (basic)
- Three months: Polio vaccine, DPT vaccine (basic)
- Four months: Polio vaccine, DPT vaccine (basic)
- Five months: DPT vaccine (basic)
- Six months: Hepatitis B vaccine, A group meningococcal vaccine (basic)
- Eight months: Measles vaccine, Japanese encephalitis vaccine (basic)
- Nine months: A group meningococcal vaccine (basic)
- 1.5-2 years: DPT vaccine, Measles vaccine, Japanese encephalitis vaccine (boosted)
- Three years: A group meningococcal vaccine (boosted)
- Four years: Polio vaccine (boosted)
- Six years: DPT vaccine (boosted), Japanese encephalitis vaccine, A group meningococcal vaccine (boosted)
