VaxIQ: Immunization Records

I had a Google Sheet where I tracked every shot for all three of my kids. Dates, lot numbers, which kid got what…it was a mess and I still forgot things. VaxIQ let me set up a profile for each child and just log doses as we go. The reminders actually work. I got a notification a week before my youngest’s next window opened and scheduled the appointment that same day. Deleted the spreadsheet.

Really useful app if you want vaccine information in one place without digging through a bunch of different websites. I like that it brings together FDA inserts, CDC/AAP schedules, and even VAERS data in a way that’s actually easy to browse. The layout is clean, the information feels organized, and it’s helpful to have everything centralized instead of bouncing between sources. Definitely a solid resource for parents who want quick access to official info.

OK so I’d tried looking at VAERS data on my own before and it was OVERWHELMING. Just giant CSV files and zero context. VaxIQ has a whole section where you can filter reports by vaccine, age group, date range, seriousness, onset interval. Shows you visual breakdowns so you can actually see patterns instead of scrolling a spreadsheet forever. Still raw public data but the filters make it usable for a normal person. Game changer for me personally.
