Hyperledger Fabric Enabled Vaccine Intelligent Network to Implement Immunization Program

Abstract

Blockchain is a disruptive technology and incredibly popular nowadays based on decentralized ledger technology. It is a tampered-proof technology that saves the transaction data permanently in a distributed ledger with an immutable time-stamped series record of data, and it is built on the idea of a peer-to-peer network. Blockchain efficiently creates trust between people and machines. It provides new approaches and solutions that cater to the business demands oriented to the fourth industrial revolution. Healthcare is one of the key research use case of blockchain wherein health records are required to be electronic for e-governance. In this paper, we propose the blockchain based Vaccine Intelligent Network for pregnant women, included vaccines covered under the Universal Immunization Program. Our solution is based on the Hyperledger Fabric framework to develop the Electronic Immunization Record of vaccinated pregnant women. The proposed system transforms the immunization record from paper to a reliable digital platforms that will benefit all nation citizens and further reduce anomalies.
