Analytics: A weapon against the COVID-19 vaccine black market

Instances of COVID-19 vaccine diversion and theft are being reported across the US, highlighting the need for increased oversight and security in vaccine distribution. Reports detail cases in Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania where individuals were arrested for stealing vaccine doses. The fragmented and decentralized approach to vaccine management, coupled with insufficient resources, creates vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Experts stress the importance of utilizing analytics and advanced security measures to detect and prevent medication theft, as it poses risks to patient safety and the global vaccine supply chain.
