Topic: Reporting dose number

We've had a bunch of discussion on how to represent the dose number in this github issue. However, I'm curious how valuable the community thinks having a dose number in the capacity reporting really is. I expect most patients will schedule their second dose while they are getting their first dose, so that reduces (significantly I think) the value of reporting second dose capacity. I have seen that some folks aren't getting their second dose, so maybe there is some utility for reporting second dose for folks that initially skipped their second dose.

Interestingly, getting accurate capacity with dose number is actually tricky for us, so I'm trying to gauge from the community how much effort we should invest (short term) to report dose number.

I don't have much data-driven feedback on this. Wondering if @Amy Quispe has a perspective? Overall I expect that getting to granular appointment timing annotated with specific products is more important than annotating with "dose #" especially if the dose # is hard to know. But I'm very interested in understanding what makes this hard to know -- is it because organizations don't have a good process for allocating vaccine doses across dose 1 vs dose 2 appointments? Or ... they have a process but it's not easy to apply?
