Vacci-Nations synopsis

Vacci-Nations will provide users with a list of recommended vaccinations for each country and other vital health information for travelling abroad. The user can also compile lists of vaccinations that they need and set reminders to book an appointment with their GP or travel clinic.

How will it benefit users?

'My goal is to equip the user with all the vaccination information that they need within the app prior to travelling, without having to perform any lengthy internet searches. The information will be up-to-date and relevant, easily accessed and most importantly accurate.'

How have you found the AppCamp experience so far and what will you take away from it?

"I've found it incredibly informative and enjoyable - a real insight into what it's like to work for Kainos. I've thoroughly enjoyed the professionalism with which Kainos have managed the project, and I feel that the entire process has been hugely beneficial to all the AppCampers. I've learned a lot in my short time with Kainos and I would highly recommend AppCamp to anyone considering applying in the future."
