We built a custom immunization management platform that helped LAUSD get 75% more students vaccinated and saved the district $5 million in just three months.
The Challenge: Tackling Low Vaccination Compliance
In the U.S., vaccination compliance is vital for public health and school funding. The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), serving over 500,000 immunization-fragile students across 100 schools, faced significant financial and health risks due to non-compliance. Every non-compliant student posed public health concerns and led to the district losing millions in federal aid. Tackling compliance at this scale was difficult due to social, logistical, and operational barriers. LAUSD needed a solution to streamline immunization tracking and ensure better outcomes.
Understanding the Stakeholders: Parents, Professionals, and Administrators
Understanding the complexities of LAUSD’s operations, we focused on the unique needs of their community:
Parents: Struggled to manage records and navigate the immunization process.
Health Professionals: Overwhelmed by manual administrative tasks, including record verification and scheduling.
Administrators: Lacked a centralized system to track compliance and generate reports in real time.
These gaps made it clear that a transformative digital solution was required.
