The Facebook COVID-19 vaccine tracker tool will be available in 17 languages.





Highlights

  • Vaccine tracker tool allows users to find nearest vaccine centre location

American technology conglomerate Facebook has partnered with the Indian government to roll out a vaccine finder tool on its mobile app in India, which will help people identify places nearby to get vaccinated.


According to Mashable, earlier this week, Facebook announced a $10 million (roughly Rs. 74 crores) grant for emergency response efforts for the COVID-19 situation in the country. The vaccine tracker tool will allow users to find the nearest vaccine center locations and their hours of operation as shared by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).


The tracker tool will also aggregate and display walk-in options (for 45 years and above) along with a link to register on the CoWIN portal and schedule vaccination appointments.

Facebook said in a post on its platform, "Partnering with the Government of India, Facebook will begin rolling out its Vaccine Finder tool on the Facebook mobile app in India available in 17 languages to help people identify places nearby to get the vaccine."
