To add the new category, you need to create a new product.category record.

There is an example in the product data file which defines two categories Saleable and Expenses as sub-categories of All category:

<record id="product_category_all" model="product.category">
    <field name="name">All</field>
</record>
<record id="product_category_1" model="product.category">
    <field name="parent_id" ref="product_category_all"/>
    <field name="name">Saleable</field>
</record>
<record id="cat_expense" model="product.category">
    <field name="parent_id" ref="product_category_all"/>
    <field name="name">Expenses</field>
</record>

Edit:

You can find at the Odoo Data Files documentation that the ref attribute is used to provide the value of many2one fields using a valid external id.

All category is declared in the product data file using product_category_all as an id. the external id should be:

product.product_category_all

complete_name is a computed char field with store set to True, its value should be computed and returned when requested then stored in the database.

You need to change the parent_id field definition and remove the complete_name field.

Example:

<record id="product_category_1" model="product.category">
    <field name="parent_id" ref="product.product_category_all"/>
    <field name="name">MEDICINES</field>
</record>
<record id="product_category_2" model="product.category">
    <field name="parent_id" ref="product.product_category_all"/>
    <field name="name">LAB TEST</field>
</record>
<record id="product_category_3" model="product.category">
    <field name="parent_id" ref="product.product_category_all"/>
    <field name="name">Vaccine</field>
</record>
