Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The research team of investigators from University of Michigan and the African Population and Health Research Center will implement and evaluate a newly-developed digital vaccine card and accompanying mobile application and electronic immunization registry. This will take place in rural Uganda and urban Kenya Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSS) and the study team will analyze its feasibility, impacts, cost through process, and economic evaluations. The study team will also assess the data quality and equity of the digital vaccine registry and card system.
