Users can search for COVID-19 vaccine locations in Apple Maps thanks to a service developed by Boston Children's Hospital.
Apple updated the Maps app on Tuesday with the ability to search for COVID-19 vaccine locations. Search in the Apple Maps app or via Siri by asking "Where can I get a COVID vaccination?"
The placecard shown for each vaccine site will include the operating hours, address, phone numbers, and a link to the provider's website. The initial rollout includes more than 20,000 locations.
Businesses can add information using the Apple Business Register page.
Apple has previously updated Apple Maps with the ability to search for COVID-19 testing locations. Location data of Apple Maps users, once removed from the Apple ID, is also now being used to alert people of how crowded a location may be.
