GSK rolls out 2D barcodes for vaccinesI

GlaxoSmithKline has become the second vaccine producer to roll out 2D barcodes as part of a program to improve the accuracy of vaccine immunization records. The move follows its participation in a pilot project by the Centers for Disease Control with Sanofi Pasteur that ended earlier this year. It also comes at a time when healthcare facilities are racing to implement electronic health records with some struggling with the challenges that go along with that process.
