Google Search, Maps, Assistant Will Now Provide COVID-19 Vaccine Availability, Doses, Cost Details in India

Google search, Maps, Google assistant are now providing more details to users on COVID-19 vaccine availability and doses, cost of vaccines through a push from the government.

The search giant announced the same last week in a blogpost. The move has come at a time when India had started rolling out the first round of the ‘Phase 1 trial’ and ‘Phase 2 trial’ of its mass-produced COVID-19 vaccine, which has been developed by India’s National Institute of Virology.

Google Maps: COVID-19 Vaccine Availability, Doses

The Google search’s new information has been made available on Google’s Maps app by the Indian government as well.

It seems as though the government has been providing its information directly through Google and not through its own service, Google COVID-19 vaccine. This, after Google started to filter its news to remove stories and facts related to the country.

“Last week, we made some of our features related to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic available in more places. The latest on how the vaccine works, its availability, cost, and vaccine doses is available in a special new section in Google Search, Google Assistant, and Google Maps in India.

The vaccine is in a Phase 1 clinical trial with around 10,000 people taking part in the first round, the government says, and has also launched a national register to get more data on the vaccines.

While details like the price of the vaccine are still private and hard to get, the location of production is available. The government’s website provides a list of the manufacturers participating in the trials.

The government says that the doses and locations are given in case a person wants to vaccinate themselves or others. The vaccine can also be purchased from a dispensary, which the government lists as India’s nodal laboratory for COVID-19 vaccine development.

To vaccinate, first download the app on a phone or visit the site using a computer, then enter details like the location and the age of the person you’re vaccinating. You’ll then be able to see what vaccines are available nearby and if they’ve been tested for people,” the Guardian quoted the document as saying.

As for COVID-19, the virus has spread through the country in the last two months and India now has the second highest number of deaths from the virus, with the highest being in China. However, the total number of deaths is not in the top 10 countries where COVID-19 is prevalent.

In the last three months, India has reported more than 2,800 cases of the disease, and more than 30,000 are under investigation.
