Subsequently, the consultation reservation unit 1145 generates a consultation reservation request based on the vaccination schedule 154 (S1812). Subsidy status information is attached to this consultation reservation request.

Subsequently, the consultation reservation unit 1145 transmits the generated consultation reservation request to the medical institution side system 20 (S1813).

In this example, the subsidy status information is attached to the consultation reservation request and transmitted to the medical institution system 20, but the subsidy status information is transmitted to the medical institution system 20 separately from the consultation reservation request. It may also be a configuration.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating the vaccination history registration process S1640 of FIG. 16. The vaccination history registration process S1640 will be described below with reference to the same figure.

First, the vaccination history management unit 116 of the vaccination management system 10 receives the vaccination history from the user device 30 via the communication network 5 (S1911).

Subsequently, the storage unit 111 stores the vaccination history received by the vaccination history management unit 116 as the vaccination history 155 (S1912).

Note that the contents of the vaccination history 155 are provided to the user device 30 via the communication network 5 at any time. Further, the contents of the vaccination history 155 are used in the schedule generation process S1400 as described above.

As explained above, according to the vaccination management system 10 of the present embodiment, subsidy status information, which is information indicating the subsidy status on the scheduled vaccination date of the vaccination schedule, is generated and provided to the user, so the user can: It is possible to easily confirm whether the vaccine to be inoculated is eligible for the subsidy. For this reason, for example, when a user is about to visit a medical institution, he or she can easily check in advance whether the vaccine he/she intends to receive is eligible for the subsidy.

Furthermore, when a vaccinated person receives a vaccination at a medical institution, subsidy status information is sent from the vaccination management system 10 to the medical institution side system 20. You can find out information such as whether or not it is applicable, and if applicable, the method of subsidy (in-kind payment, reimbursement, etc.). Therefore, medical institutions are freed from complicated administrative processes and can efficiently process claims.

The embodiments described above are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to be interpreted as limiting the present invention. The present invention may be modified and improved without departing from its spirit, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof.

For example, the contents of the subsidy information 152 may be set by a subsidy paying institution such as a local government. In that case, for example, an information processing device on the side of the subsidy payment institution, which is communicatively connected to the vaccination management system 10 via the communication network 5, receives the subsidy information.

FIG. 20 shows an example of a screen (hereinafter referred to as "subsidy information setting screen 2000") displayed on the information processing device of the subsidy paying institution upon receiving the above request.

As shown in the figure, the subsidy information setting screen 2000 includes a vaccine name setting field 2011, a vaccination recipient setting field 2012, a subsidy content setting field 2013, a subsidy cost setting field 2014, a subsidy method setting field 2015, It has a settings button 2016 and a cancel button 2017.

When a person in charge at the subsidy payment institution side sets the contents on the subsidy information setting screen 2000 and operates the setting button 2016, the above contents are transmitted from the information processing device of the subsidy payment institution side to vaccination management via the communication network 5. The vaccination management system 10 receives the above content. The storage unit 111 of the vaccination management system 10 manages the received content as subsidy information 152.
