  • Tech companies like Facebook and Google have been promoting new tools to help connect users to vaccination appointments.
  • These tools can not only help people book appointments for a COVID-19 vaccine in their area, they also provide answers to common questions.
  • Some of these tools also include features that allow people to share they got vaccinated and encourage others to do the same.

As COVID-19 vaccinations become more accessible to people throughout the United States, what everyone wants to know is, how and where can you make an appointment?

Federal and local health departments have established vaccination sites, while major pharmacy chains like CVS and Walgreens have set up vaccine clinics in their branches nationwide.

The process of actually getting that vaccination appointment can be frustrating and less clear.

This is where technology steps in.

Tech giants like Facebook and Google have been promoting new tools to help connect users to vaccination appointments and important public health information around the vaccines.
