In March $2020$ the world was turned $$upside down$$ with the spread of Covid $19$ into every country and impacting every part of society.

In particular, hospitals were overwhelmed with patients urgently requiring treatment but, there was no specific cure for this malady readily available. Globally, research laboratories furiously began working to develop a vaccine to help all of those in need.

There was a need to source raw materials, medicinal packaging, inclusion of all research scientists, Supply Chain partners, government approval agencies, hospitals, the medical community as a whole, and specialty logistic suppliers especially where the vaccines required refrigeration during transit.

Due to the high contagion rate, factories, and most commerce was dramatically affected and had to close down completely or were severely limited as to their amount of output. Industrial production was basically reduced to extremely low output and retail sales almost exclusively shifted to the e$-$retailers of the world.

This created shortages in both commercial and retail sectors$.$ However, there was a concentrated effort to produce medical supplies including ventilators, masks and hand sanitizers as well as other medical related goods. In fact, some manufacturers switched their entire production from industrial or consumer goods to products$/$components required to combat Covid$19.$

The logistics industry was overwhelmed with demand and had difficulty fulfilling needs due to low supply availability. However, emergency and health related shipments were always given priority.

Draw a $$diagram$$ to outline the supply chain for vaccine. Ensure you include all participants and identify which are $$upstream$$ from the transformation process and which are $$downstream$$ from the transformation process.
