Google Will Highlight Authoritative Information & Local COVID-19 Vaccination Sites on SERPs & Maps

To help find accurate and timely information on vaccines, Google has expanded its information panels on Search to more than 40 countries and dozens of languages, with more rolling out in the coming week. They are showing state and regional distribution information on Search so people can easily find when they are eligible to receive a vaccine. Soon they will launch a “Get The Facts” initiative across Google and YouTube to get authoritative information out to the public about vaccines.

Searches for “vaccines near me” have increased 5x since the beginning of the year and they wanted to make sure they are providing locally relevant answers. 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.
