Google has launched a feature that helps people find locations where they can get a seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccine.
There has been a ton of media coverage about the swine flu this year, which has increased the demand for vaccines.
Google Flu Shot allows people to type their location into Google Maps and find the closest place where the vaccine is offered.
That comes on the heels of Google Flu Trends, which allows users to see real-time estimates of flu activity in 20 countries and 38 languages.
Google flu shot has been attracting a lot of buzz since its debut this week. It's been a regular on the Google Trends list.
