Google is now trying to collect information about flu shots across the USA. Here is an example featuring where you can find seasonal (red) and H1N1 (blue) flu shots near New York.
An excerpt from Google Blog:
You can check out the flu shot finder at www.google.com/flushot. The same tool will also be available shortly on www.flu.gov and the American Lung Association websites. It’s important to note that this project is just beginning and we have not yet received information about flu shot clinics for many locations. In addition, many locations that are shown are currently out of stock. We launched this service now in order to help disseminate information about locations where vaccines are available, and also to make more vaccine providers aware of the project so that they can contribute.
It’s a shame it’s only avaliable in the US at the moment.
