"And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.
First of all, based on the definition of the word 'charagma' translated as 'mark,' as listed above, a vaccination does not fit the definition of the word, which is an engraving (etching) or a stamp, etc. The mark is to go on the right hand or on the forehead and without it no one will be able to buy or sell. So, this mark will be located on the hand or forehead. A vaccination doesn't do that, but is administered usually in the shoulder and then spreads throughout the body reproducing cells to resist whatever the invading entity is. Vaccines do not stay on the hand, nor are they given on the forehead, nor would they remain there.
The mark technology is already here with the RFID chip which is being inserted under the skin of the hand between the thumb and index finger. Our world is already set up to buy and sell electronically with card swiping, fobs and bank applications via cell phones. This coming mark will replace card swiping for electronic crediting and debiting (buying and selling).
The people in Sweden have been pretty much cashless for some time and thousands are being chipped. One of the uses for that chip is that they are able to make purchases (buying), such their train fares right on the train and that with just a scan of their hand. So, we have a literal fulfillment fitting the scripture perfectly. As time goes on, I believe that the RFID chip technology will continue to evolve into something smaller and more applicable in preparation for that coming antichrist/beast. Check out the following secular videos regarding this RFID technology:
