Google adds vaccine info panels to search; Maps show hospital bed availability

Tech giant Google has made discovering vaccine-related information easier by carrying out a scope of updates across its different services.

The aim of rolling out these features is to health authorities and affected groups find assistance quicker, as massive second wave of the pandemic sweeps the country.

According to Mashable, to help in searching for vaccine information, Google Search will show the latest updates on vaccine safety, efficacy and side effects.

“You will also find information about prevention, self-care, and treatment under the Prevention and Treatment tab, in easy-to-understand language sourced from authorised medical sources and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,” said the search giant in a blog post.
