N2 - The COVID-19 pandemic has happened globally for over two and a half years, the virus is rapidly swept across different parts of the geographical continents without particular vaccines and antiviral treatments. The introduction of generic vaccination campaigns is considered the crucial effective approach against COVID-19. As expected, there will be an increasing trend of people accepting vaccine injections in the forthcoming months. The development of a resilient vaccine supply chain management in the time of COVID-19 further improves the service delivery of clients, optimizes the current health system and management, and identifies the possible opportunities for the logistics industry in the future. To a certain extent, it will stimulate the economic revitalization by the high-end service in the post-COVID-19 period. Furthermore, blockchain is an innovative technology in the 21st century. The proposed research study generates groundbreaking research work to contribute to the health study and supply chain management in the post-COVID-19 pandemic.
