RFID technology helps vaccine safety management

A few days ago, the 11th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress voted to pass the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Vaccine Management", which will be implemented on December 1 this year. The law has a total of 11 chapters and 100 articles. It incorporates vaccine development, production and reserves for the prevention and control of major diseases into the national strategy, marking the era of most strict vaccine regulation in China.

Among them, the packaging and printing enterprises associated with it will speed up the realization of digital identification of products and provide a solid foundation for intelligent production. Packaging and printing companies will work hard to provide vaccine manufacturers with smarter, safer and more sustainable products, and contribute to the development of the vaccine industry.

At present, the packaging and labeling produced by the company have no problem in realizing that the vaccine can be traced and verifiable, and that the minimum packaging unit is easy to collect. Many printing companies have also introduced digital printing equipment of different models and specifications. By printing two-dimensional codes, supervision codes or bar codes, etc., one product and one code are guaranteed to realize traceability of each product.

With the development of information technology, some new ways of realizing information traceability have emerged. This requires packaging and printing enterprises to pay attention to the development of the industry in a timely manner, such as the application of technologies such as RFID and blockchain, which can play a greater role in realizing the construction of information traceability system and intelligent management in the entire industry chain. In addition, the vaccine should be regularly monitored and recorded during the whole process of storage and transportation. This also points the way for the development and application of new products, such as the popularization of temperature control and temperature change display labels, the application of innovative materials and smart packaging.

Do a good job in the service of the vaccine electronic traceability system, and also provide experience for packaging and printing enterprises to serve other products, and facilitate the application of vaccine management programs to other fields. For example, on May 31, the Ministry of Commerce and other seven departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Synergistically Promoting the Construction of Informatization Traceability System for Important Products of Meat and Chinese Herbs," which clearly pointed out that the construction of traceability system is to strengthen quality and safety supervision and guarantee safe consumption. And important measures for public safety and service consumption upgrades. While ensuring electronic traceability of vaccines, packaging and printing companies can also contribute to the construction of informational traceability systems for important products such as meat dishes and Chinese herbal medicines.
