You Can Now Download Your Child's Vaccine History: Here's How
Last Updated: India's digital health mission is expanding, and U-WIN is a cornerstone of that effort. It brings everyday healthcare especially for children into the digital age. For years, Indian parents have clutched onto paper vaccination booklets, faded, handwritten, sometimes coffee-stained. They hope it won't be lost before school admissions or international travel. But in the background, a quiet revolution is unfolding. India is now rolling out digital vaccination records for children through a new platform called U-WIN, modelled on the success of the CoWIN system used during the COVID-19 pandemic. This could mean the end of missed doses, lost records, and confusion during hospital visits. What Is U-WIN and Why It Matters U-WIN stands for Universal Immunisation Platform, a project by the Union Health Ministry designed to track every vaccine given to children from birth to adolescence. It is being gradually introduced across several districts in states like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. Once fully implemented, U-WIN will allow parents to: If you're in a district where U-WIN has been activated, here's what to expect: When your child is vaccinated at a government health facility, the nurse or health worker logs the details into the U-WIN system. You then receive an SMS confirmation with a unique ID. Using that ID or your linked ABHA health account you can access the digital record anytime. Over time, this data will be available through a secure health portal, where parents can view and download certificates just like COVID vaccination slips. What If There's a Mistake? Errors can be corrected. If a vaccine dose wasn't recorded properly or your child's name or date of birth appears wrong, you can return to the health facility where the entry was made. The staff there can update it in the system, typically within a few days. Carry your original vaccination card or hospital slip for verification. The Private Hospital Question Currently, most U-WIN entries are from government health centres. But several private hospitals in cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, and Mumbai are already part of the pilot. If your child was vaccinated at a private clinic, you can ask if they're connected to U-WIN. Even if not, you'll be able to upload scanned proof once full integration begins. Why This Change Is Important This isn't just about convenience. A digital vaccination record helps during: Most importantly, it offers peace of mind. No more digging through drawers or calling old hospitals to trace lost records. U-WIN gives parents an official, reliable, lifelong record of their child's early health. The Future Is Paperless, Even in Healthcare India's digital health mission is expanding, and U-WIN is a cornerstone of that effort. It brings everyday healthcare especially for children into the digital age. For parents, it means fewer worries. For children, it means better protection. And for a country this vast, it's one less thing to lose in the chaos of daily life. view comments First Published: July 18, 2025, 17:00 IST News lifestyle » health-and-fitness You Can Now Download Your Child's Vaccine History: Here's How Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Village Health Nurses urge government not to engage contract nurses for immunisation work
Village Health Nurses (VHN) have demanded that the move to engage Mid-Level Health Providers (MLHP), nurses recruited on a contract basis, in carrying out immunisation services at Health Sub-Centres (HSC) should be dropped. They alleged that the Health department was trying to take away the immunisation works from VHNs and rope in contract nurses due to pressure from the Central government. The Tamil Nadu Public Health Nurses Federation met Health Secretary P. Senthil Kumar and Mission Director of National Health Mission, Tamil Nadu, Arun Thamburaj, and put forward their demands. P. Nirmala, State president of the federation handed over a memorandum. The association demanded that the decision to appoint MLHPs at HSCs should be scrapped. They also demanded the Health Minister Ma. Subramanian to take back a statement 'falsely accusing' VHNs of refusing to take up COVID-19 vaccination and routine immunisation services. VHNs and Sector Health Nurses had taken up field work during the COVID-19 pandemic induced lockdown and carried out vaccination and other pandemic-related work. They alleged that the Minister told reporters that MLHPs were roped in as VHNs refused to do such work. This has humiliated VHNs, the association said. Posing a question to the Health Minister, the association asked how was it possible for 4,888 contract MLHPs to carry out the final phase of COVID-19 vaccination works when 8,713 HSCs functioned as vaccination centres and that too without training. COVID-19 vaccination started in January 2021, and the majority were covered during 2022. When this was the case, how can MLHPs who were recruited from the end of December 2021 to January 2022 carry out the COVID-19 vaccination, they asked. While registering their condemnation for the Minister's statement, the association demanded that the move to appoint MLHPs at HSCs following pressure from the Union government as a part of its national health policy should be dropped. The Minister should stop falsely accusing VHNs of covering up this truth, they said. The association has decided to intensify protests if the Health Minister does not take back the statement. They demanded that the vacant posts of VHNs should be filled, and data entry operators should be involved to upload immunisation details on the U-WIN portal.
