The COVID-19 virus has been spreading worldwide on a large scale since 2019, and the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 is to vaccinate. In order to prove that vaccination has been administered to allow access to different areas, paper vaccine passports are produced. However, paper vaccine passport records are vulnerable to counterfeiting or abuse. Previous research has suggested that issuing certificates digitally is an easier way to verify them. This study used the consortium blockchain based on Hyperledger Fabric to upload the digital vaccine passport (DVP) to the blockchain network. In order to enable collaboration across multiple systems, networks, and organizations in different trust realms. Federated Identity Management is considered a promising approach to facilitate secure resource sharing between collaborating partners. Therefore, the international federal identity management architecture proposed in this study enables inspectors in any country to verify the authenticity of the DVP of incoming passengers using the consortium blockchain. Through practical construction, the international federal Hyperledger verification framework for the DVP proposed in this study has shown the feasibility of issuing a global DVP in safety analysis and efficacy testing.

Since December 2019, COVID-19 has been raging worldwide. To prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection, many countries have proposed epidemic prevention policies and quickly administered vaccines, However, under facing a shortage of vaccines, the United States did not put forward effective epidemic prevention policies in time to prevent the infection from expanding, resulting in the epidemic in the United States becoming more and more serious. Through “The COVID Tracking Project”, this study collects medical indicators for each state in the United States from 2020 to 2021, and through feature selection, each state is clustered according to the epidemic’s severity. Furthermore, through the confusion matrix of the classifier to verify the accuracy of the cluster analysis, the study results show that the Cascade K-means cluster analysis has the highest accuracy. This study also labeled the three clusters of the cluster analysis results as high, medium, and low infection levels. Policymakers could more objectively decide which states should prioritize vaccine allocation in a vaccine shortage to prevent the epidemic from continuing to expand. It is hoped that if there is a similar epidemic in the future, relevant policymakers can use the analysis procedure of this study to determine the allocation of relevant medical resources for epidemic prevention according to the severity of infection in each state to prevent the spread of infection.
