By tracking each dose of vaccine as it travels through the country’s vast supply chain, the system is designed to provide real-time monitoring of the entire network, including critical cold chain equipment and sending alerts to staff when, for example, there are problems with refrigeration units.   In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this system has now been expanded beyond the cold chain to cover the entire journey of each vaccine dose, including details of each recipient due to receive the vaccine.
