Azim Premji Foundation Uses Salesforce Technology for its Covid-19 Vaccination Program across India

Azim Premji Foundation has collaborated with Salesforce to use its VaxIT app to enable the foundation’s large on-the-ground program to help accelerate Covid-19 vaccination across India. The foundation’s program that will use VaxIT is spread across 25 states serving some of the disadvantaged communities in the country.

The VaxIT app, which was developed on the Salesforce platform for the Azim Premji Foundation and its partners, tracks vaccination status to assist people schedule and tracking their vaccines. Over 3500 Primary Healthcare Centers are part of the Foundation’s mission, which seeks to assist over 3 million people (PHC). VaxIT, a multi-language and offline mobile app accessible on the Android app store, aids volunteers, program managers, field data administrators, and others in supporting the vaccination process, including outreach and mobilization, dosage recording, and planning.

The collaboration comes at a time when, when there appears to be a sufficient supply of vaccines across the country, while factors such as mobilization and outreach with accurate data remain the challenges in getting closer to 100 percent of the country’s population vaccinated.

Anurag Behar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation, said, “Throughout the pandemic, we have organized ourselves to provide a comprehensive response to the situation – addressing healthcare and humanitarian needs – both inextricably tied dimensions of the crisis. This collaboration with Salesforce is an important element in our large-scale program to support the country’s Covid-19 vaccination effort.”

Arundhati Bhattacharya, CEO, Chairperson, Salesforce India, said, “At Salesforce, we are deeply committed to our people and the communities in which we live and work, we firmly believe that business and technology can be a powerful platform for change. As we race to deliver one of the largest mass vaccination campaigns in human history, we believe our collaboration with Azim Premji Foundation will help with the safe and equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines across India.”
