Vaccine Distribution Supply Chain Challenges: Building Cold Chain Resilience
KRISHNA CHAITANYA RAJA HAJARATH , JAYAPAL REDDY VUMMADI
Abstract
The global distribution of vaccines is one of the most significant logistical challenges faced
by the healthcare sector, particularly when vaccines require stringent temperature control during
transportation and storage. Cold chain logistics is crucial to ensuring the potency and effectiveness of
vaccines, as even small deviations from the required temperature ranges can result in vaccine spoilage
or reduced efficacy. The COVID-19 pandemic has further emphasized the critical importance of
resilient vaccine distribution supply chains, as the rapid development and deployment of vaccines
require robust cold chain systems to deliver vaccines safely to populations around the world. This
research article explores the challenges faced in vaccine distribution, particularly those related to cold
chain logistics, and proposes strategies for building cold chain resilience. It also examines
technological innovations, best practices, and collaborative approaches that can improve the
efficiency, reliability, and scalability of vaccine distribution systems worldwide.
