Google Maps To Display COVID-19 Vaccine Locations Soon

Popular search engine, Google has announced that it will start loading Search and Maps with information on vaccination sites.

The tech firm revealed this in a blog post as it steps up its efforts to always be at the centre of getting people to their various destinations.

The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine means many people will soon be looking for vaccination sites, hence the company is announcing to the public that "in the coming weeks, COVID-19 vaccination locations will be available in Google Search and Maps, starting with Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, with more states and countries to come."

According to the company, soon you'll be able to search "COVID vaccine" and get location results showing access requirements, appointment information, and if a site has a drive-through.

Google says it is partnering with the Boston Children's Hospital's VaccineFinder.org, government agencies, and retail pharmacies for the data.

Elsewhere in the Google Empire, the company says it will open up various Google facilities as vaccine sites.

Google also adds that it plans on launching a "Get the Facts" campaign across its services, probably to counter the conspiracy theories the company is often caught promoting via the YouTube algorithm.

The post says the initiative will run across Google and YouTube to "get authoritative information out to the public about vaccines."
