Security Considerations for Vaccine Distribution

Organizations involved in the development and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine should take proactive measures to enhance their overall physical security posture. To achieve secure and resilient vaccine distribution, workers along the supply chain and vaccine recipients should use available resources to assess suggested mitigation methods against physical security attacks.

• To help meet this need, CISA created the COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Physical Security Measures Infographic. This product provides a non-comprehensive list of physical security resources available to the public to help facility owners and operators enhance their physical security to protect workers and individuals.
• CISA also created the COVID-19 Vaccine Points of Distribution Physical Security Action Guide. This product provides a non-comprehensive list of physical security resources available to the public to help satellite organizers and operators enhance their physical security to protect workers and individuals.
• In addition, the Security Considerations for COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Action Guide was created to provide information about potential physical threats to people and cyber threats to operations as the COVID-19 vaccine moved into wide distribution. It also suggests mitigations and directs readers to additional resources for further information to help protect life and property.
