Abstract:
Vaccination is the way of prevention from various infectious diseases, in many countries the
process of Vaccinations system is not technology based. In Rwanda patients (child and
pregnant woman) use manual Vaccination system still now which is not secure. The existing
systems are the paper-based system therefore peoples are going to be digitalized on their
particular life in Rwanda. each of both category of patients wants secured and flexible
vaccination tracking Information system than the existing manual system, the management of
all childhood and motherhood vaccination services relied on the use of vaccination cards to
track vaccines received and set the appointments for future vaccination dates also on paper.
This information was manually recorded for reporting purposes and program monitoring which
is time consuming for both vaccination Department in RBC and Patients. Vaccination Tracking
Information system can solve many problems to monitor and maintain proper vaccination
system especially problem of an unaware mother at third world country and child health about
vaccination service.
Information System for Monitoring Vaccinations (ISMV) is web-based system, the
methodology used includes primary and secondary data collection, interviews, questionnaires
and documentation. In addition, several technologies were also used to develop the system,
such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript as Front-end languages, PHP as Server-side languages,
MySQL as Database and PhpMyAdmin, Apache as Database GUI tools. Furthermore, the
research design and implementation of the prototype of Vaccination Tracking Information
System allow the system admin to register Nurses in order to gain credentials on the system for
the treatment of children under five years and pregnant mothers in vaccination services. This
research contributes to the development and implementation of ISVM which improves the
management and the security of the patients which request vaccinations services at health
center. During the production phase of ISVM, this system will be integrated with some
telecommunication company in Rwanda like MTN Rwanda for sending appointment
notification to the patient who request the vaccination service. The system provides an effective
way for administrators to view the dashboard, a graphical user interface. System updates
dynamically the time and dates based on when an individual vaccinated and given appointment.
