Now that every adult in the US is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, Amazon wants to make it as simple as possible to get your shots. Alexa now helps you find vaccination sites just by saying "where can I get a COVID vaccine?" to your smart speaker or other supporting device. You can specify a city if you want more than nearby results, and you can call a given site if you have questions about appointments. Alexa is also useful for learning about vaccine availability and eligibility in over 85 countries, and you can find COVID-19 testing locations much like you would vaccinations. There's a good chance you'll use a mapping app first, but there's no doubt this is convenient -- you can ask about those potentially life-saving vaccine doses while you're busy making breakfast.

Starting today, people in the US can use Apple Maps to find nearby COVID-19 vaccination sites. You can find the locations by tapping on the search bar and then the COVID-19 Vaccines icon under the "Find Nearby" menu. If it helps, that's the same part of the interface where you find nearby restaurants and gas stations. Another option is to ask Siri something like, "Where can I get a COVID vaccination?" As with Facebook's vaccine-finding utility, Apple is sourcing the listings from the Boston Children's Hospital VaccineFinder database.
