摘　　要：The digitalization of healthcare-related information service systems has become a trend across the world.However,several crucial services are still provided manually due to a lack of trust in digital solutions.One such service is keeping records of children’s vaccination,which still relies on a paper-based file system in most parts of the world.This approach causes serious data integrity problems.Recently,healthcare has become a potential application area of the blockchain,as it can preserve and protect highly sensitive private medical records while sharing these records in a decentralized manner without losing personal ownership.Therefore,we propose a new digital model to track a child’s vaccination records using blockchain.In particular,this proposed application helps improve the vaccination record-keeping process by ensuring the integrity of the preserved data in a more secure way.In an emerging pandemic situation,our approach can be extended to manage the overall vaccination process effectively.
