Abstract
The impact of COVID-19 has challenged science in its quest to control
and mitigate it through a new vaccine. This is why the world's research
centers and laboratories are in serious competition over time to offer
humanity an effective vaccine that prevents the spread of this virus.
From a technological point of view, the challenge is to manage the
distribution of this next vaccine, from its generation anywhere in the
world, to the site of application to the population. The research
results approximate the solution to the design of a secure
Blockchain-based supply chain surveillance design, to control the
variables and critical points of the next distribution of vaccines
worldwide. The expected impact of the application of this new design
will be the confidence of the population in the quality of the vaccine,
in the generating laboratory, and it supplies.
