Microsoft Launches COVID-19 Vaccine Management Platform

Microsoft revealed on Saturday that it developed a COVID-19 vaccine-management platform. Microsoft partners, including Accenture, Avanade, EY and Mazik Global, are also working on vaccine-management offerings which use Microsoft cloud services.

The firm said;'' to achieve the goal of an efficient, equitable and safe delivery of the COVID-19 vaccine, close collaboration across agencies and partners will be the key to success.'' According to the firm,  the firm Consulting Services (MCS) already has deployed more than 230 emergency COVID-19 response missions globally since the pandemic began in March.

MCS has developed an offering, the Vaccination Registration and Administration Solution (VRAS), which advances the capabilities of their Covid-19 solution portfolio and enables compliant administration of resident assessment, registration and phased scheduling for vaccine distribution, according to Buisness Insider.

In addition, it enables the tracking and reporting of immunisation progress through secure data exchange that utilises industry standards, such as Health Level Seven (HL7), Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) and open APIs.
