YOGYAKARTA - Google is currently providing a new feature in the search field, namely the COVID-19 feature for mobile users. Every user can search for the nearest COVID-19 test and vaccine location on Google more easily.

Later, every user who searches for an antigen test location, PCR, or performs a COVID-19 vaccine, will be given information on the nearest location and the types of tests and vaccines available at that location.

Google's COVID-19 feature was only released on December 22, 2021, so users who haven't updated the app will not be able to use the service.

The COVID-19 feature is an innovation from Google when the Omicron variant is increasingly widespread and continues to mutate. This feature aims to help users carry out tests and vaccines for COVID-19.

If you don't know how to use Google tools to find locations for COVID-19 tests and vaccines, below, the VOI team has compiled the steps you can take.

How to Use COVID-19 Features on Google

To be able to use the COVID-19 feature on Google, users can install or update the Google application on your smartphone device.

After that, go to the Google app and write "COVID-19 vaccine near me" to find a vaccination location, or "COVID-19 test near me" to find an antigen or PCR test location.

After pressing the search button, the user will get a list of pharmacies or medical facilities that provide services for conducting tests or COVID-19 vaccines.

When you want to vaccinate, users can choose certain types of vaccines, such as Sinovac, Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, AstraZeneca or others. Later, the user will receive information on the location of the vaccination that provides the type of vaccine you want.

If you have found the location and type of vaccine you want, on your smartphone screen a description will appear to make an appointment or register for the COVID-19 vaccine.

In this menu, users can also get contacts from the location of the COVID-19 vaccine if they want to ask questions about the vaccination process and all things related to the COVID-19 vaccine.

After that, the user can vaccinate against COVID-19 in the location that you have found from the Google search engine. Previously, users were expected to register online first.

This is how you can use the latest services from Google. Users can find COVID-19 test and vaccine locations more easily and quickly.
