Swift tech updates a boon for vaccination exercise

Singapore

WHEN Singapore began its national vaccination programme in late-December last year, public healthcare technology agency Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS) worked around the clock to develop an integrated IT system that would be able to support the country's demands.

In the last few months, the team at IHiS has had to overcome many hurdles. This includes the difficulty in tracking the duration starting from when a person had been vaccinated until the time he or she is allowed to leave if there are no severe side effects experienced.
