The thesis contains information regarding the technolo- gies prevailing in the field of cold chain logistics, the key challenges faced in cold chain lo- gistics, the covid vaccines which are approved by reputed health organisations and a pro- posed model for the vaccine distribution. Also methodologies such as survey was used by the author to identify the challenges such as vaccine nationalism. Also weighted sum method using criteria selected by the author was used to select better real time monitoring systems and temperature data loggers through comparison respectively.
