    St. Mary's Mission Hospital offers immunization services under their pediatric department. The hospital aims to ensure all children in Kenya receive vaccinations to prevent communicable diseases. However, about 450,000 children in Kenya are not fully vaccinated. There are challenges with poor data quality, stock outs of tools, and lack of data management skills at local levels. The hospital aims to develop an immunization management system to track children's vaccination schedules from birth to 9 months and manage vaccine stock levels. The system will manage immunization records, vaccines stock, and use a unified immunization schedule. It will only include children whose parents have registered with the hospital system between birth and 9 months of age.

    Nairobi West. It serves the community within and the entire city/towns within the vicinity.

    Immunization is a service offered under paedtric, de;partment, and it aims at ensuring all
    children in Kenya are vaccinated against communicable diseases . Immuniza;tion in necessary
    and it has been spearheaded by the ministry of health and constitution of Kenya…. that every
    child has a right to get immunized.

    1.2 STATEMENT PROBLEM


    Kenya has a population of approximately 42 million out of which 1.5 million are surviving
    infants targeted for routine immunization services that is delivered through a network of more
    than 5703 health facilities and clinics spread across 47 counties in the country. Despite the
    immunization system in Kenya being fairly well developed, an estimated 450,000 children are
    not fully vaccinated(National Planning Cycles, 2015). National Policy Cycles also indicated in
    the document that in Kenya, most immunizations primarily take place in fixed posts and there is
    need to institutionalize the REC (Reach Every Child) strategy to sustain the gains made and to
    reach more children with lifesaving vaccines. In addition, the above cannot be achieved if the
    local facilities meant to ensure REC strategy is fully implemented and rolled-out still face a
    challenge of Poor data quality and recurrent stock-out of tools leading to delayed and incomplete
    data reporting,lack of prerequisite skills in data management at county and sub-county levels
    including data analysis and use of data for decision making, and poor collection and management
    of vaccine utilization data, National Planning Cycles added while highlighting health sector
    challenges.

    1.3 AIM
    Aim is to manage a hospital immunization system that tracks child’s immunization schedule
    from birth to 9 months and manage vaccines stock.
    1.4 OBJECTIVES
     Manage immunization medical records
     Manage vaccines stock
     Adapt a unified schedule for immunization

    1.5 SCOPE AND LIMITATION


    The system will only track children whose parents have signed up or registered with the Hospital
    Management System at any level between birth-9 months. However, any foreign child or a child
    whose parents adapted a different system of immunization may not be accommodated in the this
    system until the adapted system is examined by the Ministry of Health and proper
    recommendation given before resuming immunization in the Kenya.
