Abstract
Immunization is a process by which a
person is made resistant to life threatening infection
diseases though vaccines’ administration.
Immunization history contained in the individual hand
card contains vital information that is required by
several users for decision making. The current manual
method of keeping immunization information is prone
to several challenges such as local domiciliation of
immunization history, loss/damage to immunization
hand cards, poor data collation process and
unavailability of real-time information. The proposed
centralized system will allow individual to access their
immunization history anywhere and at any time. The
system will ensure resident of the State can commence
immunization in a health facility and continue
vaccination in other facilities within the State. The
system is implemented using PHP as the programming
interface and MySQL as the backend. The
performance of the system shows it will reduces the
burden of carrying paper hand card as well as helping
health care centers, government official and interested
partners in speeding up report generation for decision
making.
