MMR Companion for Parents
A vaccine companion app for US parents that keeps every family member's MMR and other school-required shots in one place, alerts you when a measles case is confirmed in your county, and answers common vaccine questions in plain language grounded in pediatric sources.
Parents of infants, school-age children, and unvaccinated teens in the US
- Digital vaccine card with state-specific school-form export and reminders for upcoming doses
- County-level outbreak alerts via CDC and state Health Department feeds with push notifications
- Plain-language Q&A on MMR safety, schedules, and catch-up rules grounded in AAP/CDC guidance with citations
- Clinic finder that surfaces pharmacies and pediatric offices with MMR in stock and same-week availability
The US is in its largest measles outbreak since 1989–1991 and is on track to lose its 'measles eliminated' status; parents are searching for trustworthy guidance amid loud vaccine-skepticism noise.
CDC MMWR reports 800 US measles cases Jan–Apr 2025 (second-largest since elimination) and CNN reports >2,000 cases for the year — largest US outbreak since 1989–1991, with vaccination rates lagging and active parent searching.Measles Update — United States, January 1-April 17, 2025 ↗More than 2,000 measles cases reported in the US in 2025 ↗
The closest competitors are CANImmunize (Canadian, not US-facing) and the CDC Vaccine Schedules app (explicitly for healthcare providers, not parents); no dominant US parent-facing app combines family records, county-level outbreak alerts, and plain-language Q&A.CDC Vaccine Schedules App for Healthcare Providers ↗CANImmunize - Apps on Google Play ↗
Direct analogs (CDC app, CANImmunize) are free and government-backed; no public evidence found of parents paying subscription for a vaccine tracker, and AI Q&A grounded in pediatric sources creates liability exposure that constrains paid pricing.CDC releases 2024 immunization schedules | AAP News ↗
Event-driven urgency (current outbreak, 'eliminated' status at risk) is likely transient, but core durable need (school-required records, CDC schedule changes) remains; however, county-level outbreak alerting depends on fragmented state/local data feeds that may erode after the news cycle.Tracking measles cases in the United States ↗Measles Cases and Outbreaks | CDC ↗
Basic record/reminder features are easy to build, but county-level outbreak data must be aggregated from ~3,000 US counties with inconsistent reporting, and medical-grade AI Q&A requires careful source grounding and liability review — meaningfully harder than a generic LLM wrapper.Measles - United States of America - WHO ↗
