Designing a resilient vaccine supply chain network under viral mutation disruptions with consideration of product type changes

Key Points

• A robust vaccine supply chain network enhances resilience against viral mutation disruptions, ensuring effective distribution.
• Key metrics indicate that addressing product type changes significantly boosts overall supply chain efficiency.
• Design principles were derived through simulation analysis of vaccine distribution under varying mutation scenarios.
• Findings highlight the need for flexible supply chain strategies to adapt to rapidly changing viral landscapes in real-time.
