Last December, Google announced its plans to display a list of authorized vaccines in search results, starting in the United Kingdom. The company is now taking a step forward to curb the spread of misinformation around the COVID-19 vaccine in India. The company has teamed up with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to show a science-based narrative around vaccination drive.
“To enable government officials as they make critical decisions during these vaccination rollouts, we also deliver regular Google Trends reports on COVID-19 vaccine queries that reflect interest around the vaccination from month to month across regions,” adds Google in the official blog post.
