### 2/5 — NowI see that the whole ordeal was useless… And DANGEROUS!

*2024-02-18, version 11.1.0*

“ Scary” didn’t know just how close he was to the truth, but he had no idea back then. “Needs Work” hit the nail right on the head, but back then she didn’t know the real truth. Now we do?This whole vaccination ordeal was nothing but a hoax and a very dangerous Vaccination they wanted us to take with no thought to human life, or at least a human like that we were used to. 
These are FACTS that I’m getting ready to tell you: I was dead set against getting this vaccination. There was no way in heck that I was going to get it…Until my sister told me that if I wanted to see my mom again, which was 93 at the time, that I WOULD get the vaccination. So I had no choice. My mom hadn’t been out of the house in months because of the pandemic. So we went to get our shots. She got Covid first and on the 93 year old elderly person that was pitiful thank God for the infusions they had, or she would had died.When I got my vaccination, I was feeling pretty lousy one day I went to the health department. I thought I had a cold… Nope Covid. Almost immediately after I got my last Covid shot I couldn’t breathe. I thought it was getting too fat because I couldn’t breathe. I was telling my best friend. Finally I got so bad I had to go to the doctor. They slap me in the hospital so fast it wasn’t even funny. I had three blood clots, yes, they determined it was from theVaccine. One in my leg and one in EACH LUNG!!
Now in 2023/2024 we all know that this was a halt and it was nothing but to benefit somebody’s pocket. And the “so-called” WH0, doctor, and I use the term loosely, was no doctor at all. He had a hand in making thisVirus and so did everyone else around it that earmarked money monthly to be sent to the lab to mutate the Virus. I mean, for God sakes, OUR own Government did this to us. God help America!

### 4/5 — Good app to review vaccine schedules

*2023-01-16*

I’m a retail pharmacist, but I tend to forget the dosing schedule for vaccines. This is a good app for that, even if the reviews are bad for people looking for other features other than this. My only critique is that it doesn’t include COVID or travel vaccines.

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2021-05-23*

The app is a great idea for sending information to the CDC so they can track individual reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine. However, as each days progresses, symptoms may or may not change or increase. 

On day one after receiving the first vaccine one I was feeling fine, my only ailment being some mild nausea that went away after taking a Zolfran tablet. I was able to eat lunch and play with the puppy for a little while. But... that only lasted a couple of hours. About 7-8 hours later the nausea came back with a vengeance and I had some vomiting. I drank some Picot and went to sleep. About two hours later I was on a virtual call with Urgent Care after midnight due to more vomiting. I went to pick up more nausea meds and after taking, lied back down. 20 mins after that, my face is once again in my bedside trash can. Now this morning, I have a low-grade fever, chills, a slight headache, and abdominal cramps.

I said all that to say, just because a person may do the initial health check, regardless of how they feel, good, fair or bad, there should be a way to continue to monitor and send their reactions to this vaccine continually. In my opinion, this is the ONLY way the CDC will be able to ACCURATELY monitor one’s symptoms and how long those symptoms do last.

PLEASE UPGRADE

Thank you

### 2/5 — Travel

*2021-02-15*

Map of world has different colors for different countries-but there’s no map legend to explain the meaning of the different colors!

### 4/5 — Please add travel Med to main screen

*2019-02-05*

Recently downloaded the app so still in process of forming an opinion but so far I like it. Easy to use and like the function to click on vaccine for more info without having to go to separate page. 
One feedback/suggestion- please put a link to travel medicine on the main page. I use cdc website a lot for travel Med and initially was disappointed thinking the app didn’t have this info, but it does, just buried and hard to find. Would love to see this brought to the main page.

### 2/5 — Knightlysportdoc

*2018-04-11*

Updated to the new OS and the app no longer loads. I use it with patients to show what vaccines are needed. However,  All the good value this app provides disappears when the app no longer loads on my iPad.  Please fix this app

### 2/5 — Not Working

*2018-03-10*

App keeps crashing. Now it won't even update or redownload back on my iPhone. This app needs to be fixed. It was useful then all of a sudden it just stopped working.

### 4/5 — Great start, Needs a little work

*2017-12-19*

This app does a great job of simplifying the master chart that can be intimidating and confusing to the lay person.

Other reviewers mention erroneous information, I saw none. My guess is they don’t quite understand how and where to start reading the recommendations based on their own health status.

If you have NO chronic or acute medical conditions you look at the schedules organized by age, make sure you understand the color key.

If you HAVE a chronic or acute medical condition, look at the “Adult Conditions,” or “Contraindications” recommendations FIRST, then use the schedule based on YOUR health status recommendations. The age schedules are written with the assumption there is NO underlying health conditions, so you have to keep that in mind.

Suggestions for optimizing the app:
-Disclaim upon opening the app, that the age schedules assume a “normal” health status
-Instructions on how to use app
-Option to customize a health profile that then populates a customized schedule

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2017-09-28, version 4.0.2*

Not worth it

### 1/5 — Can't believe they don't proofread their publications

*2017-07-11*

Coming from a government institution like CDC it's unacceptable to find typos like "recommendedation" and it's repeated in every table! Unbelievable....

### 1/5 — Ok. Could be so much more

*2017-02-16, version 3.0.1*

This app could be better if it included less common vaccines. -or an option to add vaccines by date to inform the user the next vaccine due.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used to be helpful

*2026-08-15*

This app is not updating to current imz recommendations. Why???

### 1/5 — No longer valuable

*2025-07-04*

Used to be the go to resource for vaccines. JFK jr.  ruined that…

### 1/5 — Not user friendly - very poor app

*2023-01-16*

This app could not be less user friendly.  Uses abbreviations that are unfamiliar to the layman for disease names. No separate guide for 65+.  It is like a maze to figure out what vaccine you need. Also not iPhone friendly. 
The CDC needs an overhaul - they have made it increasingly difficult the last few years for one to figure out what vaccines you need.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-06-07*

Come on, this app is so bad. It looks bad and feels like something I would have made on my Commodore 64 about 45 years ago

### 1/5 — Where is covid vaccine efficacy app

*2021-09-13, version 8.0.2*

How does this broadly applicable vaccine schedule app allow COVID 19 vaccinated inform CDC of breakthrough cases? Not apparent here!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-06-22*

Does not provide data on adverse effects from vaccines. Does not have a section dedicated to adverse effects and package inserts with prescribing information on vaccines.

### 1/5 — Non intuitive - unusable

*2021-04-17*

I have no clue what selection should i make for my J&J shot.

### 1/5 — Poorly designed app

*2021-04-02, version 8.0.1*

I have been poking around on this app for the last 10 minutes and I cannot figure out how to actually register to get personalized content. I think the app design can use some improvement.Such tool is badly needed at this time.. it needs more intuitive design

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2020-05-11*

The app won’t open anymore.

### 1/5 — Scary!

*2017-11-02*

Two of the recommended vaccines for my age also show under “contraindications”.  How is one to trust any of this information when it includes such gross error? 

It fails to indicate the frequency needed for most vaccines. 

Also, it would be best to incorporate a way of tracking your vaccinations record.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-25*

for all of use who’ve abused cocaine for years frying brain cells, hosting brain worms to eat the remaining functioning cells. Also great advice regarding storing bear meat!

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2025-02-14*

Pleasantly surprised to read top recommendations what to do if a worm eats your brain, and how to store bear meat

### 5/5 — Good for what it is……

*2024-06-08*

I’ve been a pharmacist for 33 years.  The app is just a reiteration of the ACIP vaccine schedules that we all used print from the website.  The app is much handier than paper.  I think the previous reviews have expected more information (adverse effects, package insert info etc) than the app is designed to provide.  If you need detail, you still have to access the website.  But in the grand scheme of things this is pretty good basic info app.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2023-02-16*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Great for NPs

*2021-02-13*

Excellent resource for family or pediatric nurse practitioners!

### 5/5 — Looking for vaccine information

*2021-01-16*

Hi. Great app!!  Have you created an app where we can find and schedule covid vaccination?  That would be very helpful. Tha k you for this app and for your time!

### 5/5 — Would vaccinate again

*2020-01-21*

I love being able to read about the vaccines before each of my baby’s check-ups. By staying up to date on his vaccines we worry less that he’ll contract preventable diseases like measles that are really dangerous for babies, and when he’s older he won’t be able to transmit those diseases to others.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2018-03-10*

Perfect reference for health professionals ...😷thanks❤️

### 5/5 — A must for MDs

*2016-12-17, version 3.0.1*

Good to have. All parents need this as well so they can keep up.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2015-11-03, version 2.0.2*

Just makes things so much easier for us with 3 young kids. It's one less thing to worry about and easy one touch access can't be beat.
