Beverly Hills, CA, March 15, 2021 – Today, Allied Identity, SICPA and Equity Health Services announced additional members to the Vaxtrac Coalition, which will work to strengthen and expand the capacity of communities around the world to safely and securely respond to COVID-19 and future infectious disease outbreaks.
The Vaxtrac Coalition was formed last year by Sicpa, Allied Identity and Equity Health Services in response to the unprecedented challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic – specifically, outdated vaccination management systems incapable of securely and accurately supporting the public health response to the crisis. “Vaxtrac enables a real-time, holistic view of population health by providing strong data validation, giving individuals control of their own records, and removing fraud from the system. Vaxtrac allows for secure, universal access to individual testing and vaccination credentials” protected by SICPA’s proven CERTUS™ MyHealth Pass technology, which creates a blockchain-protected digital seal that is easily verified, tamper-proof, and ensures credentials are tied to unique identity.
Along with Allied Identity, SICPA, and Equity Health Services the coalition includes:
● American Banknote Corporation (ABCorp), a US-based company supporting governments and world-class organizations globally with secure credentials and payments solutions for over two centuries;
● Salamander, founded by first responders, a leading provider of comprehensive “tag, track, and report” solutions for businesses, organizations, and emergency management;
● Africa’nity Group, a Senegalese provider of digital engineering solutions including network and telecom solutions;
● AfriDOKTA, Africa’s premier hybrid telemedicine /mHealth mobile platform;
● Corvus Biometrics, a Northern Virginia-based, veteran-owned, small business focused on the delivery and administration of biometric and identity management security solutions;
● eHealth Africa, a nonprofit working throughout Africa to build stronger health systems through the design and implementation of data-driven solutions;
● eTranzact, a leading payment processing platform in Nigeria;
● MedRespond, a leading online healthcare communications company that combines artificial intelligence, search and streaming media;
● North Wind Group, a nationwide small business leader in the engineering, environmental, construction, and technical services industries;
● PASP, offers one of the most secure ID card platforms in the world today, protecting the identity through secure physical credentialing; and
● Twin Technology, provides market-leading IT support and solutions, including managing IT infrastructure, overseeing security and optimizing IT systems
“Vaxtrac is a critical tool in the highly complex effort to securely and reliably catalogue individual vaccination status and track population health. It is especially vital as government, business, and public health officials around the world look for ways to safely resume international travel, in-person gatherings, and business operations,” said Jeff Hattara. “Together, the organizations that are part of the Vaxtrac coalition leverage their unique expertise and existing products to adapt to changing conditions and ensure that strong, secure vaccination management solutions reach the governments, public health officials, and populations who need them to help recover from COVID-19 and respond to future infectious disease outbreaks.”
