I found the Vaccine Reminder feature on your Website very interesting. My request is that this useful facility may not be restricted to Registered Users, but may be made available to all Visitors, who may like to enter their child's details and take a print-out of the Vaccine schedule. Please consider. Keep up the excellent work in providing India-relevant information for child care.
