About the project
OPISMS’ aim is to increase vaccine coverage by sending SMS reminders of vaccination dates, and raising awareness of how important they are. It also issues online vaccination logs.
The service has new features such as informing pregnant women in addition to vaccination appointments, prenatal and post-natal consultation appointments.
OPISMS uses awareness-raising to solve the problem of forgotten booster vaccines, as well as over-vaccination.
