Manage vaccinations in schools (shortened to Mavis) is a digital service we're building to support vaccination providers around the country, so that they’re easier to manage and more effective.
Vaccination providers visit schools to deliver vaccinations to hundreds of children in a single day. This can require a great deal of planning, preparing, and coordination.
We've designed Mavis around the needs of the many different people who are involved in school vaccinations. From school administrators, nurses, parents and schoolchildren, everyone has a part to play, and we’ve worked hard to ensure the service works for all of them.
It’s not always easy to visualise how one digital service can meet such varied needs. So, we've put together a short video using an anonymised example to show how it all fits together.
Why Mavis matters
It solves real problems
We've carried out extensive user research with parents, children, nurses and admin staff. Their insights have shaped what the service does and how it works.
It’s evidence-based
Mavis aims to address known challenges including variable quality messaging and poor digital experiences. Both can negatively affect vaccination uptake issues
It's an end-to-end service
From the first message, “Your child is eligible for vaccination”, to data sharing and reporting, Mavis supports the whole user journey.
It tackles fragmentation
It brings together parts of the service that are currently scattered across multiple systems and manual processes.
It's accessible by design
It’s accessible for everyone, from medical professionals to families, on any device.
It simplifies communication
No more PDFs buried in school newsletters with QR codes you can't scan! Mavis gives local teams direct control over communication with parents and saves them hours of admin.
It streamlines the consent process
Parents can easily give consent online, without the hassle of paper forms
It improves visibility across the system
Mavis connects with NHS England systems, helping GPs and hospitals view school age vaccinations, reducing reporting workload.
