Abstract –

We all are aware that children should receive their vaccinations at the appropriate times, but because of their busy schedules and the fact that some parents lack knowledge, many parents are clueless of this vaccination. so, our website's purpose is to bring or increase awareness among all the parents to ensure that all the infants receive their vaccinations on time. Based on each child's birth date and in keeping with the vaccination schedule, a generic system was proposed for the collection and storage of their medical records. It is suggested that a web application with the required privileges be made accessible to parents and doctors. The same is offered in an android-based mobile application due to the sharp rise in mobile usage. Parents are also constantly advised to get their children vaccinated on time until they are fully protected. In addition to eliminating the need to carry papers, capturing and preserving medical records in a shared database can aid in providing children with effective and high-quality care.

Key Words: Immunization, SMS, Vaccine, child, Remainder.

1. INTRODUCTION

Vaccination is the use of antibiotic material (a vaccine) to stimulate a person's immune system to develop adaptive immunity to a pathogen. Vaccines can prevent or reduce morbidityfrominfection.Vaccinationisthemosteffective method of preventing infectious diseases. Immunity spread by vaccination is largely responsible for the eradication of smallpox worldwide and the prevention of diseasessuchaspolio,measles,andtetanus.Generally,the process of artificial induction of immunity works by "priming"theimmunesystemwithan"immunogen"inan attempt to protect against an infectious disease. Stimulating an immune response with an infectious agent iscalledimmunization.

Immunization involves different ways of administering immunogens. Most vaccines are given by hypodermic injection because they are not reliably absorbed from the gut. Live polio, some typhoid, and some cholera vaccines aregivenorallytoinduceimmunityinthegut.Vaccination

Immunity (protection) from immunization is similar to immunity from disease, except instead of acquiring the disease,yougetavaccine.

In India, 2.7 crore children are born each year. An estimated 18.3 million children die before their fifth birthday. Every year, vaccine-preventable diseases kill 5 lakhchildreninIndia.Despitethehighrateofchilddeaths from vaccine-preventable diseases, 30 percent of Indian children miss out on the benefits of full immunization every year. That is, approximately 8.9 million children nationwideeitherreceivesomevaccinesornone.One out of every three children in India does not receive all the vaccines available under the UIP. Five percent of children in urban areas and eight percent in rural areas are deprivedofimmunization.

Text messaging is a powerful tool in terms of communication, especially for mobile users.

2. Problem

We know that children should be vaccinated at the right timebutdueto parents'busyschedule,illiteracyand lack of awareness about vaccination, many children miss out on vaccination. As a result, the baby does not develop

immunity, alternatively the baby may die, so awareness needs to be created among all parents so that all babies arevaccinatedattherighttime.

2.1. SOLUTION

Child immunization reminder and recall system is an effective way to identify children who need to be immunization and to contact health centers to get vaccinated. Reminder systems can work through a short message service. Everyone uses cellphones but not check their mails every day and some people don’t use the internet unless they have to so SMS is the most effective waytospreadawareness.

3. PROPOSED SYSTEM

The figure demonstrates how the child immunization system works. System admin can login using user name and password and after successful login, admin can perform various tasks like add, update and delete health center.Also,adoctorasausercanlogintothesystemwith a username and password after his account is created. Doctor tasks include: set location, add and manage workers,managevaccinedetails,andgeneratereports.

3.1. WORKING

Working of Web-Application

Worker is another user of this system. It uses MySQL software to keep the records in the database which is the best and easiest database to store the information. User filled details are stored in a database. User task include: register new born child, add vaccination, update child record, manage child status, delete child. After filling the database,thesystemsendsanalertadayinadvancetothe patient'sgivencontactnumberandalertsthedoctorifthe patientdoesnottakethevaccineasperschedule.

First open the application on the user or administratorcomputer. 

Then if Doctors or workers are an existing user then login with their appropriate ID and password. 

If you are a new user then Sign in with entering youralldetails. 

After the login process the application dashboard will open where some options are provided for the user like system info, data entry, set location, childsearch,registrationcountandfeedbackform etc. 

In case of non-vaccination on the schedule date, the automated system send alert to doctor with completedetailsofthepatient.

4. CONCLUSION

Therefore, we have made an effort to assist parents in receiving SMS messages and notifications that provide time-specific information regarding their child's vaccination appointment. A baby vaccination program may assist parents in making sure that their children receive their vaccinations on time. This will make it possible to immunize kids against infections and prevent the spread of disease. The scheduler offers a simple method for registering a newborn child as well as for updating,deleting,andsearchinganybaby'sinformation.
