At present, there are many problems and challenges in the management of Class II vaccines, for example, regulatory regulations, the regulatory system and the quality supervision for second-class vaccines are not yet complete. Blockchain technology will play an increasingly important role in the safety supervision of Class II vaccines. Firstly, we have explored the vulnerabilities and causes of second-class vaccine safety supervision in this paper. Then we have studied the impacts of blockchain technology on second-class vaccine supervision and the potential drivers of adoption by reliability theory and fuzzy dynamic decision-making method. Finally, based on the study results, a modular and sustainable supply chain integration optimization design has be proposed for the second-class vaccine safety supervision system, the supervision system based on optimization design has deep traceability and disintermediation to track and monitor the quality of each stage of the entire supply chain, and has characteristics such as intelligence, scalability, and compatibility. This study provides theoretical basis and technical support for embedding blockchain ICT into the multi-agent collaborative supervision of class II vaccines.
