Foreign children living in Shanghai enjoy the same vaccinations as local residents. Foreign children can go to their neighborhood healthcare service center to receive a vaccination, or receive a vaccination at designated hospitals in the city’s districts and Chongming County. The procedures are as follows:

For foreign children born at local obstetrics hospitals, these hospitals will provide hepatitis B vaccine and BCG vaccination and give a bilingual Vaccination Certificate. The guardian of the foreign child can take the certificate with the child to the local neighborhood healthcare service center to receive vaccinations.
For foreign children entering China, their guardians need to prepare a vaccination record beforehand, and translate foreign-language records into English, and go to disease prevention centers in districts or Chongming County to translate it into Chinese, then go to their local neighborhood healthcare service center to receive vaccinations with the Chinese document.
