18. Q5 Case Study: According to official records, from national health organizations, as of September 27, 2021, a total of 6.1 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccination have been administered globally.Although the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines had generated enormous excitement, health-care systems around the globe were facing the complex task of maintaining the supply chain of vaccines for their populations. There were several aspects to the COVID-19, a vaccine supply chain that makes its biggest challenges: Scale, traceability, speed, temperature control, safety and security, and the global nature of the effort and distribution. A typical supply chain solution would focus on any one of these issues, but the scientific community needs to tackle these problems altogether Another issue with the vaccine was the temperature control of the cold chain with extreme heat and humidity; as in many countries, daytime temperatures reach around with extensive changes in humidity. It appears to be the world's most incredible logistical difficulty, requiring a convoluted distribution, storage, freezing, and communication system According to the WHO, 2.8 million vaccine doses were lost owing to Cold Chain problems Some Findings and Learnings from the challenges faced were —India being a developing nation has very limited Cold Chain storages which are otherwise also used for many other activities- needs to improve on this aspect, develop and strengthen supply chain strategies to receive, store, distribute and manage COVID-19 vaccines and their ancillary products; distribute COVID-19 vaccines from port of entry up to the most remote vaccination sites; ensure the quality, efficacy, proper tracking, reporting of vaccine utilization and safety of COVID-19 vaccines throughout the supply chain; assess, design and implement appropriate waste management mechanisms to safely treat and dispose waste while protecting the environment and populations; strengthen appropriate cold chain and logistics requirements, including reverse logistics; and provide tools to support country readiness activities to be Future ready for any catastrophic event
