A child's vaccination schedule almost always lives in one place: a paper card, folded into a bag, carried between a clinic, a pharmacy and a school admission office. The clinic hands it over at the first visit and, from that point on, has no way to see it again until the parent brings it back. The missed dose isn't discovered by a system. It's discovered at the next visit, if there is a next visit.

The failure mode, stated plainly

This is an operational problem, not a clinical one: the schedule sits outside the clinic's own system.

What a paper card means for the clinic
  • Cannot query it
  • Cannot search it
  • Cannot trigger anything from it
  • Dose slips past its window unnoticed

What changes when the schedule lives in the clinic's own record

The schedule is created from the date of birth, inside the record the front desk already checks patients in against.

It doesn't depend on a card surviving the walk home. Whoever is at the desk can open the child's profile and see exactly what's done and what's next, without asking the parent to produce anything.

How the reminder actually reaches a parent

The same WhatsApp reminder engine that sends appointment and payment reminders, pointed at each due date.

  1. STEP 1
    On WhatsApp
    It reaches whichever number the family already messages the clinic from, not a missed call or a buried SMS.
  2. STEP 2
    Approved template
    Sent as a pre-approved WhatsApp template registered with Meta under the utility category, not a free-text blast.
  3. STEP 3
    Guard rails
    Overdue reminders are capped, with a minimum gap enforced between one nudge and the next.
  • ₹0.15
    per reminder, the WhatsApp utility rate, from the clinic wallet
  • ₹0.88
    the marketing-broadcast rate, which has no bearing on a due-date reminder

A clinic pays only for what actually goes out, and only at the utility rate, because Meta prices this as a utility template, not a marketing broadcast.

What else sits on the same record

Two things fall out of having one record, not the reason to have one.

Growth chart
  • Measurements taken at each visit can be plotted on the WHO growth chart inside the same prescription PDF.
Dosing math
  • A weight entered once carries through the dosing math on that visit's prescription instead of being recalculated by hand.

Both are documentation the clinic's own doctor is already producing at the visit. CuraVerto's role is keeping it attached to the record and doing the arithmetic, not deciding what the child needs.

One number, several children on file

Family Profiles keeps each child's vaccination schedule separate under one shared WhatsApp number.

This reflects CuraVerto's published pricing page, where Vaccination Schedules (IAP 2023) is listed under Specialty Modules, available from the Pro plan. All pricing is exclusive of GST, with no per-doctor fee and no commission on consultations at any tier.

Not a clinical recommendation
CuraVerto tracks and reminds against the schedule a clinic's own doctor has set for that child. The Indian Academy of Pediatrics publishes and periodically revises a national immunization schedule, most recently updated in 2023, that clinics commonly follow as their reference. CuraVerto's vaccination tracking uses that published schedule as its default framework, but the software is not making a clinical recommendation of its own, it's administering the dates and dispatching the reminder for a schedule the doctor has already decided on.
