Abstract: A stand-alone vaccination cart provides an all-in-one solution for distribution, maintenance, administration and presentation of vaccine shots. The vaccination cart comprises both a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion includes a refrigeration unit, a temperature monitor connected to the refrigeration unit, a plurality of storage drawers and a syringe disposal container. Placed on top of the lower portion is a work station which includes a networked computer and a printer for processing insurance and repayment forms. The corresponding upper portion includes a plurality bays to store additional medical supplies (gauze, disinfectant, adhesive bandages, etc). The networked computer is capable of communicating wirelessly with a centralized server.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and system of distributing vaccination carts comprising the steps of entering into an optimization module which includes entering the type of immunization desired to be distributed, identifying the goals of a vaccination program, and running an algorithm to determine the proper number of vaccination shots to provide the Provider; operating a service module to create a master schedule to allocate the distribution cart to one or more Providers; running an issue detection module to detect whether a networked computer determines if there are any unacceptable sensor readings; and determining whether a sensor detects an issue and, if so, returning to the optimization module.
