Vaccine-Scheduler

An vaccine scheduler to manage reservation for caregiver and patients.

Guide

Once the user runs the program, these are all the possible options that can be done (assuming they are allowed to). I will run through what each option does.

Welcome to the COVID-19 Vaccine Reservation Scheduling Application!
*** Please enter one of the following commands ***
> create_patient <username> <password>
> create_caregiver <username> <password>
> login_patient <username> <password>
> login_caregiver <username> <password>
> search_caregiver_schedule <date>
> reserve <date> <vaccine>
> upload_availability <date>
> cancel <appointment_id>
> add_doses <vaccine> <number>
> show_appointments
> logout
> quit

• create_patient and create_caregiver allows the user to create a patient to receive the vaccine or a caregiver to adminster it. Note that a caregiver does not require any medical license or degree as this is purely a simulation. Passwords' strength are checked using Regex and then hashed using the SHA-256 algorithm if valid.
• login_patient and login_caregiver allows the user to login as an existing patient and caregiver.
• search_caregiver_schedule allows a caregiver or patient to search for caregivers available on the given date as well as the number of doses of each vaccine left.
• reserve allows a patient to reserve a valid date and vaccine (assuming there are doses left) for an appointment with a caregiver that day. The caregiver is chosen in ascending alphabetical order.
• upload_availability allows caregivers to upload a date when they are available for patients to make an appointment with them.
• cancel allows both patients and caregivers to cancel a valid date they have an appointment on.
• show_all_available_dates shows all available dates for every caregiver.
• add_doses allows caregivers to add doses to existing vaccines or to create a new vaccine (real or fiction).
• show_appointments shows appointments for the logged in patient or caregiver
• logout is self-explanatory
• quit terminates the program.

Requirements / Installation

1. Clone the repo into an IDE (IntelliJ IDEA with Java 11 is the developmenting environment and recommanded)
2. Create a database server (Microsoft Azure heavily recommended as it works well with pymssql).
3. Run Scheduler.java
