CargoChain launches VaxTracks— visibility tracker for the COVID-19 vaccines

CargoChain, Inc., supplier of the market’s leading supply chain visibility and information sharing platform, today announced a partnership with global software solution provider FileVision to deliver VaxTracks—the only blockchain-based solution that provides immutable chain of custody for the COVID-19 vaccines as well as a patient self-service registration and proof of immunity.

“VaxTracks is designed to support the COVID-19 vaccine process with speed, standardization, safety and social equality,” said Jonathan Colehower, chief executive officer, CargoChain. “The blockchain-enabled solution guarantees that patients and providers can verify the authenticity and safety of the vaccine, improving public trust and lifting overall participation. VaxTracks provides national and local authorities as well as pharmaceutical companies and healthcare organizations access to verifiable evidence of product supply, condition, location and socially equitable distribution.”

The priorities for VaxTracks include:

● Speed – The self-service application accelerates registration, reduces documentation errors, automates patient communication and provides immutable certification for individual immunization.
● Standardization – VaxTracks is easily accessed and will be available to everyone—providing a standard reporting process. 
● Safety – CargoChain’s blockchain-enabled architecture guarantees that patients and providers can verify the authenticity and safety of the vaccine with VaxTracks, improving public trust and lifting overall participation.
● Social equality –Enables federal, state and local authorities to demonstrate with absolute certainty that vaccine availability is being distributed equally to every socio-economic segment across the United States and around the world. Verifiable data brings increased insurance to every socio-economic group, ensuring no group is overlooked. 

VaxTracks will be available in February 2021. 

CargoChain is one of the few supply chain solutions that has blockchain as an integral working part of its platform. All events are recorded on-chain, following the execution of a smart contract as cargo changes hands, while rich cargo data is stored off-chain. CargoChain’s blockchain architecture provides immutable proof of all cargo events at any given point in time as cargo moves along the supply chain.
