Pricing a Hospital's Vaccination-Drive Alerts
A hospital with 8,000 registered patients can run a two-alert vaccination drive on the 30,000-message package at PKR 14,999. This article sizes the drive announcement, the camp-day reminder, and the follow-up for missed appointments.
A hospital with 8,000 registered patients can run a two-alert vaccination drive on the 30,000-message package at PKR 14,999. Short answer: multiply your patient list by the alerts you plan to send, and buy the package that covers that count.
This article sizes a typical vaccination drive: the announcement, the camp-day reminder, and the follow-up for patients who missed their slot. Health reminders are useful only when they reach the right people at the right time.
Count registered patients, not foot traffic
Your list is the patients and parents whose numbers you hold in your records. A hospital with 8,000 registered patients has a list of 8,000 real numbers, and one alert to that list uses 8,000 messages. Walk-in visitors who never registered do not belong in the count.
Venture SMS does not use the WhatsApp API, so drive alerts go out through Venture SMS's own numbers — never yours. Your number never sends the campaign, and nobody logs into your WhatsApp. Sending is paced — steady, not blasted out in one instant.
Two alerts carry most drives
A vaccination drive needs two alerts. Send one: the drive announcement with dates, timings, and who should attend. Send two: the camp-day reminder the day before, so families do not forget. Two alerts to 8,000 patients is 16,000 messages, which fits inside the 30,000-message package at PKR 14,999.
Replies come back to the panel, and you answer the replies yourself — timing questions and eligibility questions are the ones that turn an alert into an attended appointment. A missed slot costs a family a trip, so answer promptly.
The full price ladder, stated plainly
Every package, ascending: 3,000 messages for PKR 2,999; 10,000 messages for PKR 6,999; 30,000 messages for PKR 14,999; 50,000 messages for PKR 19,999; and 100,000 messages for PKR 26,999. There are no setup fees, no per-message fees, and no API costs. Fixed message counts, never unlimited.
The 10,000-message package carries the MOST POPULAR badge in the pricing section. A smaller clinic with 2,000 patients sending two alerts needs 4,000 messages, so the 10,000 package at PKR 6,999 is its fit — with room for a second drive in the same year.
Add the missed-slot follow-up to the budget
Some patients miss their slot, and one follow-up to that smaller group belongs in your count. If 2,000 patients miss and you follow up once, that is 2,000 more messages — 18,000 in total for the drive, still inside the 30,000 package. Count the follow-up before the drive, not after it.
One package can also hold the next drive: leftover messages stay available for a seasonal flu camp or a child-immunisation week. Tap Buy Now on the pricing section. It opens WhatsApp with the package and price prefilled, and the team will arrange it. Venture SMS is owned and run by Connect Sphere.
Frequently asked questions
How many messages does one vaccination drive use?
Count one message per patient per alert. Two alerts to 8,000 patients is 16,000 messages.
Will alerts come from the hospital's number?
No. They are sent through Venture SMS's own numbers — never yours, so your number never sends the campaign.
Should we send daily reminders during the drive?
No. One announcement plus one camp-day reminder reaches families without turning a health message into noise.
Can one package cover two drives a year?
Yes, if the math fits. Two drives of 18,000 messages each is 36,000, so a 50,000 package covers both.
