Chain Safety Investigators

Trust in drugs and especially in vaccinations can be lost by counterfeits or by not optimally managed distribution chains. Directly and indirectly this creates health risks or can facilitate outbreaks. In combination and fully integrated with other methods, blockchain databases offer an additional tool to strengthen the trust and monitoring quality in vaccination and drug distribution chains.
