Support for Health Care Providers

Vaccination schedules are complex, often ambiguous or self-contradictory, and change without notification. The schedule for Ontario Canada is an example.

Health care providers are constantly faced with the uncertainty of interpreting the schedules, wondering if they have the latest version, and struggling to apply it to each individual patient.

When a vaccination schedule is updated,e.g. to include a new vaccine or revised dosing, the Vaccsbook database is updated.
The new schedule is implicitly communicated to clinicians everywhere and immediately reflected in patients' future vaccination needs.

Moreover, the complexities inherent in vaccination schedules, particularly in "catch up" schedules, are handled by the Vaccsbook algorithms; clinicians no longer have to worry about correct interpretation.

In developing countries and remote locations with limited resources, this support is particularly important.
In industrialized countries, new immigrants and international students can arrive with their vaccination records immediately available. Vaccsbook takes the guesswork out of vaccinating such patients, who may be up to date in their country of origin but have significantly inadequate vaccination status at their destination.
