Vaccination Certificate Typing: Get a Clean Digital Copy in Minutes

What a Vaccination Certificate Contains

A typical vaccination certificate in Bangladesh follows the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) format issued by the Directorate General of Health Services. The card records the child’s name, date of birth, father’s and mother’s names, and the complete immunisation schedule with vaccine names, batch numbers, dates of administration, and the health centre’s stamp. Some cards also include a unique registration number. When you upload a scan or photo of the card to Lekhak’s typing service, every one of these fields is replicated accurately into a clean digital DOCX, including handwritten entries and stamp text.

Common Vaccines That Appear on the Card

The EPI schedule includes BCG (given at birth), OPV and IPV (oral and injectable polio), pentavalent vaccine (protecting against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, and Hib), PCV (pneumococcal), MR vaccine (measles and rubella), and sometimes a booster dose of DPT. These terms are standard across most EPI cards, so our typing model is trained to recognise vaccine abbreviations and translate handwritten abbreviations into typed form without altering the medical meaning.

Why People Type a Vaccination Certificate

A typed digital copy of the childhood immunisation card serves several practical purposes. Parents create a permanent backup in case the paper card is lost or damaged. Visa applicants for countries such as the US, UK, or Schengen states often need to submit the certificate as part of health documentation, a clean typed version is easier for officials to read. International schools and universities abroad may also request a typed copy for admission. In each case, Lekhak’s instant typing service saves hours of manual data entry and eliminates the risk of misreading faint or faded handwriting.

When a Digital Typed Copy Is Enough, and When You Need an Official Certified Document

Lekhak’s AI typing output is ideal for internal record-keeping, clinic submissions, visa application drafts, and any scenario where an accurate digital copy suffices. The self-serve DOCX file is not itself a certified document, it carries no signature or certificate of accuracy. However, if you later require a certified translation of the vaccination record for a foreign authority that demands an official document, Lekhak offers certified translation on-demand (arranged separately, not self-serve). Notarisation, apostille, or embassy attestation are independent government steps you complete through the relevant authority, Lekhak does not handle those.

What Lekhak’s AI Typing Produces

After you upload an image or PDF of the vaccination card, Lekhak’s AI processes the document and returns a formatted DOCX file within minutes. The typed output preserves every field, child’s full name, date of birth, vaccine names and dates, batch numbers, the health centre name and date stamp. The file uses standard fonts and layout so you can view it on any device, print it, or attach it to an online application. There are no added signatures or letterheads; it is a faithful digital replica of the original card’s content.

Vaccination Cards Across the Region: Bangladesh, India and Others

While the EPI card from Bangladesh (issued by the DGHS) is the most common document in this cluster, similar child-health cards exist in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and other countries following WHO-recommended immunisation schedules. The layouts differ slightly, some include a growth chart, others list vaccines in a different order, but the core fields are the same. Lekhak’s typing service handles any English-language vaccination card (or cards that mix English with a local script) and can work with handwritten or printed originals. The same instant turn-around applies regardless of the country of issue.

Lost Your Original EPI Card? How to Get a Duplicate in Bangladesh

If your child’s EPI card is lost or damaged, you can obtain a duplicate from the health complex or EPI vaccination centre where the doses were given. Community clinics and upazila health complexes maintain immunisation records and can reissue a card based on their registers. The Directorate General of Health Services also oversees the EPI programme and can guide you on replacement procedures for different districts. Once you have the duplicate card, scan it and upload it to Lekhak for instant typing.
