Children vaccination reminder via SMS alert

This study presents a model for children vaccination reminder using short message service (SMS). The model consists of data flow in reminding parents of their children vaccination schedule. Existing practice on vaccination schedule is via written appointment. Nevertheless, such approach may not be sufficient as parents may forget due to a tight work schedule and daily routines. The proposed model was evaluated by allowing selected respondents to use to the developed prototype. Results show that respondents do agree on the benefit of having reminder send via SMS. In addition, all of the respondents feel that the proposed system is useful.
