Google launched Flu Shot Finder on Tuesday, a new feature that allows people in search of either an H1N1 flu vaccine or seasonal flu vaccine to easily find nearby locations offering the vaccines.

Pieced together in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services, the flu shot finder can be found at www.google.com/flushot. The same tool also will be available shortly on www.flu.gov and the American Lung Association’s Web sites, Google reported.

For the moment, Google has data for locations of flu vaccines directly from 20 states and counting. “We are also continuing to add information from chain pharmacies and other providers in all 50 states; today, you’ll find results from chains such as Walgreens [and] CVS, and PDX participants such as Kmart, Duane Reade, WinnDixie and Giant Eagle,” the company stated.

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.
