Family doctors and the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (Haigekassa) have started using a free application to speed up the distribution and delivery of covid-19 vaccines. The application was developed by Estonian logistics startup Sixfold and a team of volunteers.
At the beginning of March, a workgroup was assembled by the Estonian state and various leading tech entrepreneurs to find ways in which the private sector could contribute to resolving the Coronavirus crisis.
The group wanted to work out how vaccines could better reach family doctors and the general public. A digital vaccine delivery solution was created within three weeks and is now being used by the planners of the Health Insurance Fund and physicians.
