A Blockchain Based Technique for Storing Vaccination Records

Maintenance of immutable vaccination records and provision of accessing the records in order to prove immunity has been the need of the hour. The recent spread of Covid19 and related uncertainty over vaccinations and immunity have made the search for a secure trustable system for reporting vaccination data more essential. Multiple digital, as well as paper-based solutions have been tested but none has been reported successful enough. In this paper, a technique has been proposed to solve the problem by introducing blockchain-based solution to maintain records of vaccination and proof of immunity for individuals. The purpose has been to present a safe and efficient solution to the problem and hence the model proposed is based on concepts of smart contracts and built over Ethereum blockchain. The paper goes on to give a detailed study of the technique based on discussions of its various aspects like design, development and feasibility.
