New
Provide a basic explanation of what a combo vaccine is and how this one can be broken down into smaller components for safer use.

Add customer insights to admin dashboard to provide better service

A big risk of online software is how easy it is for new customers to sign up, pay, and then be forgotten.  This is a report to help us better serve our customers on a daily and weekly basis.

Added chickenpox vaccine

New
There is one brand, but two variations of the brand: freezer storage required, and refrigerator-stable.

Added modified mueller's media

This ingredient is very complex and is adjusted for each bacteria (diphtheria, tetanus, etc) 

Start adding tetanus boosters

Improvement
Updating which ones are currently available and removing those that are no longer on the market.  Digging deeper into the package insert specified formulations (ingredients) than we were able to do with the previous version of VaxCalc.  After manual analysis, we use AI to find anything we may have missed, and then manually check the AI's work.

Every ingredient shows all vaccines in which it is found

Improvement
This is now dynamically produced from our data, saving us even more time (no manual coding), insures accuracy, and makes it much easier to understand the relationships between ingredients and vaccines.

MMR, polio, approved date, scrollable ingredient list

Improvement
Added initial US FDA approval to each vaccine brand.  This helps you choose if you will follow our rule of thumb that says to never use a vaccine or any pharma product that hasn't been on the market for at least 5-7 years.

Add ingredients for Polio, MMR, new MMR vaccine, and a scrollable ingredients list (now up to 34).

Big infrastructure addition for rapidly adding vaccines + ingredients

New
Created foundational infrastructure to make it SUPER easy to add and change vaccines and their ingredients.  So now we are setup for rapid additions.

This also makes it easy to open source our core data of vaccines and ingredients.  The project is named VaxCalc Core, hosted on GitHub.

Open sourcing our vaccine and ingredient data ensures that the information behind our services and software is transparent and trustworthy. This transparency allows parents to feel confident that the decisions they're making for their children's health are based on comprehensive, accessible, and reliable data, which has been meticulously compiled over 15+ years.

All ingredients and vaccines support custom user notes

Improvement
Now, you can save your own custom research notes and documents to every vaccine and ingredient page in VaxCalc.

Added ability to save YOUR OWN notes and documents to DTaP page

This makes it possible for YOU to customize your own version of VaxCalc with important research and documents.  We will soon add this to every page of VaxCalc.

Improvement
As VaxCalc is built out and more research is added, there is an geometrically increasing number of different ways to explore the research via links (DTaP links to alum, alum links to Autism, Autism links to ...., ad infinitum).

Smart navigation at the bottom of each page makes is really easy to retrace your steps backward.

Pregnancy Categories

New
Deep dive into Pregnancy Categories, which is very important for pregnant women considering vaccination to understand. This system was in use from 1979-2015, when the FDA replaced simple & clear Preg Cats with a confusing, time-consuming system that makes understanding risk much harder.

New
Live outbreak data is now available not only in the associated vaccine, but also from your Dashboard for easy visibility and quick access.
