US technology giant company, Google on Saturday developed a dedicated Doodle to create awareness for the COVID-19 vaccines and promote the sense of wearing face masks among people, amidst a massive surge in coronavirus cases.
The Google Doodle is featured on the search engine’s homepage with animation effects to gain the attention of the masses. Upon clicking on it, the Doodle shows search results on COVID-19 vaccines.
The new development by Google comes amid the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination drive in India for people aged 18 years and above. It is currently live in six states, though others are likely to join — depending on the availability of the vaccines.
The Google Doodle encouraging people for the COVID-19 vaccine is available in countries including the US, UK, Canada, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It features the Google logo’s alphabets with face masks and bandages to represent people getting vaccinated.
Earlier this week, the Indian government launched registrations for the COVID-19 vaccine for people aged between 18–44 years. The vaccination drive for the eligible people started gradually earlier on Saturday in six cities, namely Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, and Odisha. However, there is no word on when it would reach other cities, due to the ongoing shortage of COVID-19 vaccines in the country.
