How to open the English version of the COVID-19 vaccine certificate?

Issuing the English version of the COVID-19 vaccine certificate generally requires the following steps:

1. Go to the medical institution or community health service center where the vaccine was administered and apply to the staff for the English version of the vaccine Proof;

2. Provide relevant information. The staff will ask you to provide some personal information, such as name, ID number, vaccination name, vaccination time, etc. Please ensure that the information provided is accurate;

3. Waiting for issuance. Medical institutions or community health service centers will arrange for staff to translate and certify the vaccine, and issue an English version of the vaccine certificate. Generally, you need to wait for a certain period of time, and the specific time depends on the work schedule of the medical institution or community health service center.

The COVID-19 vaccination certificate also requires nucleic acid testing for the following reasons:

1. Because the protection of any vaccine is not 100%. After receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, there may be cases where immunity is not successful. After this group of people are exposed to the COVID-19 virus, they may develop a positive nucleic acid test due to infection with the COVID-19 virus.

2. It takes some time to produce a protective effect after being vaccinated against the new coronavirus vaccine. If you are infected with the new coronavirus during the period when the protective effect has not yet developed, you may also test positive for nucleic acid.

3. People who are in the incubation period of COVID-19 or who are asymptomatically infected may still test positive for nucleic acid during the period of vaccination. Therefore, even if you have received the COVID-19 vaccine, you still need to do a nucleic acid test if necessary.

To sum up, different medical institutions or community health service centers may have different issuance procedures and requirements. The specific regulations of the relevant local departments or institutions shall prevail.
