Abstract---The breakout of Covid has occurred in recent years which
had a major impact worldwide. In this scenario, vaccination has
proven to be highly successful. In a nation like India, vaccination of a
big population is a difficult task. Individuals wait for hours for a
vaccination slot, yet they are still unable to obtain one because
information about the vaccination location and opening hours is
unavailable. For this topic, we suggested a Vaccination Tracker
algorithm that provides users with real-time information on vaccine
openings, locations, available capacity, minimum age limit, Pin code
and name of the organization, making vaccination registration a
breeze. In this paper a model based of Multi-criteria Fuzzy technique
is propose in which probability is generated to assign priority to the
registered candidates. On the basis of the priority: Very High, High,
Medium, Low, and Very low, the slot of the individual is informed
regarding the availability of slots and slot is booked on the basis of the
registration details. After successful vaccination, the countdown is
started for the next dose, respectively.
Keywords---COVID-19, economy, vaccination, application, healthcare,
pandemic, fuzzy logic, slot.
Introduction
The world is currently undergoing a pandemic as a result of the widespread
transmission of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease. It is an acute respiratory
condition caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2), which was first discovered in late 2019 in Wuhan, China's Hubei
province [1]. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the
COVID-19 a pandemic disease due to the exponential rate of infection and death.
