Google has launched online Flu Shot Finder. Internet is the cheapest medium to communicate your message. Internet is increasingly becoming the best medium to launch your products and businesses and is one of the fastest and most effective ways to interact and communicate with masses- -Google not only knows this fact but it also acknowledges it. It is probably one of the reasons why Google is still ruling the internet market. Recently, Google launched Flu Shot Finder –another incredible service to help masses.
google announced the launch of Flu Shot Finder on Tuesday. The service would help the users to find information about the location of health centers in U.S which are providing Flu vaccines. The users would be able to search the nearby locations where H1N1 and other seasonal flu shots are available. Google previously launched a service which updated the users about flu-infection levels in different areas of United States of America. The service titled Google Flu Trends is now available in 16 more countries and provides information about the infection levels of influenza in many countries worldwide. Recently included countries are Japan and Russia. A large part of Europe is also covered by the service. The service, which could be availed through www.google.com/flutrends, is now available in 37 languages.
Google Flu-Shot Finder is in its initial stages. Comparatively a recent service, Google Flu-shot-Finder does not contain information about every vaccine center. Talking about the service, Jennifer Haroon and Roni Zeiger wrote in a blog post that Google is working on collecting the data and the information available through Google Flu-shot Finder is not comprehensive yet. Another shortcoming of the service is its incapability to update the information about available vaccines. The service does not give updates whether vaccine shots are finished or still available as many vaccine centers do not have as many vaccines as is required to cater the people of that area. Hence it is advised that a user calls the vaccine center before heading towards it for getting a vaccine shot.
The flu-shot finder service could be availed by logging onto www.google.com/flushot. The service will soon be made available on the official government portal www.flu.gov.
