  • Google announced on Monday it has planned several initiatives and app updates to help with the ongoing coronavirus vaccine efforts.
  • Both Google Maps and Google Search will display more information about vaccination sites going forward, as well as authoritative information about vaccines.
  • Google will invest $150 million to promote vaccine education and transform some of its buildings, parking lots, and open spaces into vaccination facilities, as needed.

More than 64 million people were vaccinated against the novel coronavirus as of Saturday, including 20.5 million Americans. Just as more vaccine supply became available, several mutated coronavirus strains have begun spreading more efficiently than ever, including one that might impact vaccine efficacy. As of Monday morning, nearly 100 million have been infected, and more than 2.15 million people have died of COVID-19 complications. Governments around the world are now looking to speed up vaccination campaigns, with President Biden having committed to vaccinating 100 million people in his first 100 days in office.

Google on Monday announced its own plans to help with immunizations, including more funding for COVID-19 vaccine programs, as well as Google Maps and Search support for vaccine sites and actual logistics. Google even plans to make some of its own spaces available as vaccination sites.
