Determining and Ranking Components of COVID-19 Vaccine Supply Chain Using Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution

The spread of the COVID-19 virus has provided a massive resistance to the life and well-being of the crowd throughout the world. Even after the preparation and manufacturing of vaccines, an enormous problem exists in the distribution process to individuals. The objective of the current study is to identify critical components of the COVID-19 vaccine supply chain (VSC). The vaccine will provide long-term protection for humanity globally. Key determinants have been identified and ranked as per their performance from discussions with various experts. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method was utilised to rank these critical components, obtained from an exhaustive literature survey. This study will help identify issues and rank them to improve the performance of the VSC.
