The existing 'my health record'vaccination history' was also able to be checked in the app, but the improvement of the app's function made it easy to check the 'future vaccination schedule'.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they will provide such services from July 28.
The 'Health Information Expressway', which has been in operation since September 2023, is a relay platform that allows individual health care information scattered in various places, including public and medical institutions, to be easily inquired and stored and transmitted wherever they want. People can conveniently use various services of 'Health Information Expressway' by downloading the 'My Health Record' app on their smartphones.
Specifically, you can check the essential vaccination items and periods included in the children's national vaccination project, and information on influenza vaccination and COVID-19 vaccination for senior citizens aged 65 or older is also provided.
In addition, in the existing app, parents were able to view medical information of children under the age of 14, but the improvement of this function has expanded the scope of access to all underage children. Accordingly, parents can conveniently check their children's medical information at any time if they register their children under the age of 19 in the same residence as their parents on the app 'My Health Record'. Through this service, parents can check their children's medical history, drug prescriptions, health examination results, and vaccination history at once with the app 'My Health Record'.
Shin Hyun-doo, head of the medical information policy division at the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said "I expect that the improvement of the app function will make vaccination management and child health management more convenient for the people."
