This mobile application is an ameliorated version of the Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network [eVIN] and will deal with the whole process of data management.
The application can be downloaded for free and it contains five modules where the importance of each module is equal.
1. Administrator Module
This section is made for the administrators who will be keeping track of the vaccination sessions. The administrators, involving vaccinators and managers, will be informed from this module that a person has registered for this particular administrator and the administrator will be notified about the same.
2. Registration Module
This module is for the assembling of data of the registered people for the vaccination process. The information regarding the co-occurring data will be uploaded in bulk in this module by the local authorities or the surveyors.
3. Vaccination Module
This module will contain the data of the vaccination of the beneficiary or the receiver. This section will ensure that the details of the receiver are true and the vaccination data will be updated.
4. Beneficiary Acknowledgement Module
This module is present in the application to generate the QR-code based certificates after the receiver has received the vaccination. The receiver will receive SMS through this module about his/her vaccination process is completed.
5. Report Module
This module can be represented as the excel sheet where data regarding- receiver’s vaccination process will be updated, a list of people who dropped out after the registration, attendees for the vaccination process, and similar information will be covered.
The mobile application is expected to send the data regarding the temperature of the cold-storage to the main servers for proper monitoring of the issues if any.
Few points regarding the process:

- First Phase: Frontline workers and healthcare professionals will be vaccinated in the first phase of the process.
- Second Phase: Emergency workers will be vaccinated during this phase.
