The MYVaksinBaby app is created for Malaysian parents to help keep track of their children’s vaccinations using their mobile devices. Parents will receive timely reminders (push notifications) every time their children’s vaccinations are due according to their age. These reminders specify both essential and additional vaccines that children need to provide them with the right protection at the right time.
Other functionalities include a vaccination record system (for children up to 2 years old) and educational content such as videos and short articles on childhood vaccines, vaccine-preventable diseases, vaccination care tips and schedule. The app is available in both Bahasa Malaysia and English.
The MYVaksinBaby app is developed under the Immunise4Life programme, a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Health Malaysia and medical professional bodies such as the Malaysian Paediatric Association and the Malaysian Society of Infectious Diseases & Chemotherapy.
