SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING, STORING,PRESENTING AND ANALYZING IMMUNIZATION DATA HAVING REMOTE STATIONS IN COMMUNICATION WITH A VACCINE AND DISEASE DATABASE OVER A NETWORK

A system is provided for collecting and storing immunization and disease data. Immunization mobile stations (IMSs) are provided with a software application to facilitate the collection of patient information such as biographical data, previous vaccination data, medical history, medications in use, occupation, administration of recent vaccination, disease symptoms and the like. IMSs synchronize the patient information with information stored in a database maintained at a data center that is accessible to different groups of personnel based on different privileges defined at the data center and security measures. Patients can access electronic patient records created by the IMSs, and stored at the IMSs and/or a local server and eventually at the data center, via telephone or computer (e.g., via web browser). IMSs can capture and store images of vaccination and disease symptom sites on patients. The database allows for vaccination and disease tracking and disease control. The IMSs can be provided with a vaccination recommendation engine to determine if a patient is eligible for a vaccination and electronic patient consent forms, and are programmable to track adverse events and create follow-up reports after a vaccine is administered.
