What initiative has Google taken to fight the COVID-19 pandemic?

In order to help in the efforts to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, Google has committed to providing not just 2.5 lakh COVID-19 vaccination to countries in need, but also commit an additional $250 million in Ad grants to connect people to accurate vaccine information.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, hundreds of Google employees have helped organizations connect people with up-to-date information — particularly in communities that are not typically reached by mainstream public service announcements,” the company said in its blog.

In countries such as the US, Canada, France, Chile, India, and Singapore, the company has made available information related to COVID-19 vaccination locations. “To expand this work, we’re committing an additional $250 million in Ad grants to governments, community, and public health organizations, including the WHO, that will fund more than 2.5 billion vaccine-related PSAs (public service announcements).” With this $250 million Ad grants, the company has now committed more than $800 million for COVID-related public service announcements.’
