client = TestClient(app)

def test_create_vaccine():
    data = {"startTime": '3:30', 'endTime':'5:40'}
    response = client.post('/vaccine',json.dumps(data))
    assert response.status_code == 201
    assert response.json()['startTime'] == '3:30'

Pycharm activates the virtual env on startup, while in vsc you have to do it manually. The folder can be visible on both, depending on your platform (Win/Mac/Linux) you have to enable hidden folders/files to be visible. All that being said this isn’t really a FastAPI issue/ As a comment before suggests look into the basic concepts first before working on an API. Look into virtual environments, and how they work. Basically it would be worthwhile to try to get a better grasp at basic python concepts before doing any API work.

As n8sty suggested, just a quick tip after glancing through the test file. Avoid using relative imports.
