Abstract
Early in 2020, the coronavirus Covid-19, which is produced by the SARS-CoV -2 strain, first gained international attention as a severe health threat. Covid-19 spread quickly around the world, forcing everyone to fight with preventative measures like masks, hand washing, and preserving social distance. But to prevent the virus, vaccination has been playing a key role. Vaccination records that contain patient data make this system very complicated because there is a risk of a privacy breach. Hackers may steal the personal health information of individuals or may carry out cyberattacks against any national health data server. Additionally, there is a chance that dishonest people can purchase and sell fake vaccine certificates on the black market. Blockchain can provide a solution to this regard by its features like data immutability, privacy, transparency and decentralization. For people, governments, and organizations interested in blockchain-based systems, we analyze the blockchain based vaccination management system in this study and provide a current summary. We envision our study to motivate more blockchain based systems.
