Abstract

This study aimed to describe the development and implementation of COVID-19 vaccine and testing center’s location finder portal for Nigeria. Names, locations, coordinates, pictures and other relevant information related to the health centers were obtained from the Naational Ccenter for Ddisease Control and the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency. The data was used to create a database which was used to connected to the Google API. The portal contains sections like Nearest Centers, Vaccination Centers, Testing Centers, All Centers, FAQ, Survey and COVID News. The objective of the study is to improve access to COVID-19 testing site, enhance access to COVID-19 vaccination centers across the country and educate Nigerians about COVID-19. The research suggest the active participation of religious and community leaders would improve access and willingness of their subjects to be vaccinated
