VetVax

While we did not complete the frontend of our project, here is the general idea:

• Reminder web application to record & remind about your pet's next vaccine appointment.
• Planned to have SMS and Email reminders 1 week before and day of the vaccination
• Used standard vaccination frequencies to determine reminder periods

Our website aims to solve the issue of missing multi-dose vaccine appointments for your pets. Pets require a series of vaccinations separated over a duration of several weeks, months or years. Keeping track of the various vaccines could get inconvenient and missing a vaccine dose could have adverse outcomes. This website will remind you to book an appointment for your pets’ vaccination, a week in advance based on the required type of vaccination. A reminder is sent over email and SMS to ensure your pets receive the vaccine they need, on time.
