Is there a vaccine for that?

A proof-of-concept exploring how current disease outbreaks map against vaccination status, and a test case for using Claude to rapidly prototype a data project. Sources include the Australian Immunisation Handbook and WHO Disease Outbreak News alerts.

Stack

• Next.js 14 (App Router, TypeScript) — the web app
• Drizzle ORM + Neon (serverless Postgres) — the data layer
• Tailwind CSS — styling, using the design tokens from the original scaffold
• Python — separate ETL scripts for pulling from WHO and ClinicalTrials.gov

Local setup

1. Create a free Neon database. Sign up at neon.tech, create a project, and copy the pooled connection string from the dashboard.

2. Install dependencies

   npm install

3. Set your database URL

   cp .env.example .env
   # then paste your Neon connection string into .env

   (Drizzle Kit's CLI looks for .env by default, not .env.local — Next.js itself is happy with either, so .env is the simpler choice here.)

4. Push the schema to your database

   npm run db:push

5. Seed example data

   npm run db:seed

6. Run the dev server

   npm run dev

   Visit http://localhost:3000
