Mark Zuckerberg announces Facebook's plans to help get people vaccinated against Covid-19

‘Today we're launching a global campaign to help bring 50 million people a step closer to getting Covid-19 vaccines. 

‘We've already connected over 2 billion people to authoritative Covid-19 information. Now that many countries are moving towards vaccinations for all adults, we're working on tools to make it easier for everyone to get vaccinated as well. 

‘First, we're launching a tool that shows you when and where you can get vaccinated and gives you a link to make an appointment. This will be in the Covid Information Center, which we'll show people right in their News Feed. We've already seen people use Facebook to find vaccination appointments, so this should enable millions more people to do the same.

‘Second, we're bringing the Covid Information Center to Instagram, and we'll show it to people prominently there too. 

‘Third, we're working with health authorities and governments to expand their WhatsApp chatbots to help people register for vaccines. More than 3 billion messages related to Covid have already been sent by governments, non-profits and international organizations to citizens through official WhatsApp chatbots, so this update will help with the vaccination effort as well.’
