ReadyVax Project
ReadyVax Mobile App contains information regarding vaccines, vaccine-preventable diseases, and vaccine safety for healthcare providers and patients.
Goal
To create a user-friendly mobile app to readily provide evidence-based answers to vaccine-related questions.
About
Born from the desire to develop a single, trusted, go-to vaccine resource, the ReadyVax Mobile App contains information regarding vaccines, vaccine-preventable diseases, and vaccine safety for healthcare providers (physicians and pharmacists) and patients. READYVAX provides access to the most up-to-date evidence based information needed to inform vaccination decisions. All information that has been included in this mobile app is based on current published evidence from scientific literature.
