The internet of things (IoT) is increasingly entangling with human bodies. This emergence and fast expansion of the “internet of bodies” (IoB) – the network of human bodies and data through connected sensors – while offering enormous social and health benefits, also raises new challenges of technology governance.
With an unprecedented number of sensors attached to, implanted within or ingested into human bodies to monitor, analyse and even modify human bodies and behaviour, immediate actions are needed to address the ethical and legal considerations that come with the IoB. The urgency of such actions is further brought to the forefront by the global COVID-19 pandemic, with extensive IoB technologies and data being enlisted for the surveillance and tracking of coronavirus.

As usual the idiots will be the first ones to line up to be used as experimental rats for any technology, we already know how that goes.
Invasive technologies include, for example, digital pills – a recent drug-device combination developed to deliver encapsulated medicine and monitor medication adherence – which rely on ingestible mini-sensors to be activated in the patient’s stomach, and which then transmit data to sensors, the patient’s smartphone and other data portals. Other examples of smart medical implantables include: an internet-connected artificial pancreas as an automated insulin delivery system for diabetes patients; and robotic limbs for movement rehabilitation in people with physical mobility limitations.
wonder if it's possible for them to insert this sort of tracking device into a vaccine!

NO!
What scares me the most?
There are actually people out there, that would do this willing.

We already are...smart phones, smart watches
Really makes you wonder if it's possible for them to insert this sort of tracking device into a vaccine!

....A digital pill is like a specialized RFID. It doesn't send back an ID number; it instead sends back sensor data when activated. Like the RFID, the digital pill receives its power from radio waves of a specific frequency. There may be some which operate via smart phones, but all of them I have personally heard of require access to a reader similar to an RFID scanner. The amount of energy in that power signal must be greater than an RFID scanner, because it has to penetrate much more flesh before it reaches the power supply antenna.
