Data storage and access
In order to meet the above described purposes, it is necessary that all data about Covid-19 vaccines are stored in one central database. This database will be the Vaccinnet database. The access to the database will be organized via webservices and a web application available on the eHealth portal (for health care providers as well as for vaccinated people) with use of the basic service user and access management delivered freely by the eHealth-platform. Regional eHealth initiatives will be able to put a link to the web application on their portals.
