In partnership with One Medical and public health authorities, venues will open first in Los Angeles and San Francisco, New York, and Kirkland, Wash., to anyone eligible for the vaccine (based on state and local guidelines). Google hopes to expand its program into offices across the US. « We recognize that getting vaccines to people is a complex problem to solve, and we’re committed to doing our part, » Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a blog post. « Starting in the United States, we’ll make select Google facilities—such as buildings, parking lots, and open spaces—available as needed.
