DAY 2 NOVEMBER 9, 2021 TOPICS & SPEAKER PROFILES SESSION 1:

The breath of the global distribution itself, combined with the expeditious nature surrounding how the vaccines would need to be distributed - and the unusually unique handling characteristics (cold chain) - challenged even some of the very best, established, supply chain security programmes.


‘OPERATION VAX’ & THE SECURITY OF GLOBAL COVID VACCINE DISTRIBUTION


Speaker: Chuck Forsaith, Vice President, Healthcare Distribution Alliance


One of the highest profile commodities to move through the global supply


The industry and those that support it (business partners, vendors and linked associations) responded in a truly unified fashion which, to date, has resulted in “0” large scale losses or diversions. This presentation will highlight one of the programmes that assisted in that effort - the Pharmaceutical Cargo Security Coalition’s (PCSC)’s ‘Operation Vax’.
