ABSTRACT
The pandemic of Covid-19 was a huge challenge for people, the economies of companies and nations. The supply chain, which is a link from suppliers to customers, is one of the many sectors hugely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Many suppliers were forced to shut down operations due to the pandemic and the transportation industry suffered immensely. World leaders, medical practitioners and pharmaceutical companies began to talk about vaccine development to help in the fight against the pandemic. A breakthrough in the Covid-19 vaccine development brought smiles again to the world as many countries were already struggling to deal with the effect of this pandemic. Since the supply chain industry has been gravely impacted by the pandemic, there rises another challenge in the distribution of the developed Covid-19 Vaccine. Using Statistical Analysis System (SAS) and a combination of different multivariate methods, this research explores the United States Covid-19 and Vaccine distribution dataset to uncover trends affecting the Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Chain (VSC). Furthermore, this research provides some suggestions on how to improve the Covid-19 VSC using supply chain drivers such as facilities, transportations, and information. © 2022 IISE Annual Conference and Expo 2022.
