COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Tracking and Monitoring Using IoT

A Covid-19 vaccine is so highly anticipated with the global pandemic status arise. Hence, distributing the vaccine is a challenging task, especially for an archipelago country like Indonesia. Until now, the vaccine distribution is an offline-based system, using paper-based monitoring reports, individual cold chain monitoring system, and no alert to prevents non-ideal vaccine conditions. This research focuses on enhancing the existing cold chain vaccine distribution system in Indonesia by leveraging the technology of the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result, vaccine distribution can be tracked precisely by deploying a LoRa-based tracker and monitoring sensor in the distribution trucks, and vaccine conditions can be maintained by alerting the responsible personnel.
