【Abstract】Information related to Covid-19 either it is vaccination status of the country or the active Covid-19 cases both are the confidentialmatters. The privacy is utmost important concern in pandemic situation to secure access of patient vaccine data. Blockchain technique is one of the good techniques that affirm the privacy and data security. The consensus mechanisms in blockchain confirm that data stored in it, is authentic and secured. Proof of Work is one of the consensus algorithms, where miners in the blockchain network solves the puzzle and receive the reward accordingly. The difficulty level of the puzzle decides the security of the data in the network. Hence, this paper proposes blockchain based framework to store the vaccination data of patient by enhancing security using proof of work consensus algorithm. The performance of the proposed framework is measured on different level of difficulties, corresponding to time. The result shows that higher the difficulty level, take more time to solve the puzzle, results in more secure data.
