<p>According to a computer-implemented approach for scheduling and administering a vaccine to a patient, the patient submits information to an administrator. The administrator arranges a convenient appointment for the patient at a local medical provider to receive a vaccine. Provided that the patient is eligible and inventory of vaccine is available, the vaccine is administered to the patient at the pre-arranged appointment. According to another approach, a medical provider submits information to an administrator and if eligible, offers locations and appointments to provide vaccination services to a patient via the administrator. According to yet another approach, a supplier of vaccine submits information to an administrator and if eligible, offers inventory of vaccine to healthcare providers via the administrator. The patient, provider and supplier approaches may be used together or separately with a variety of vaccine distribution methodologies. Apparatus and computer-readable mediums implementing the above aspects are disclosed.</p> |
