Topic: Representing schedules by product

Looking at real-world usage it's often desirable to identify slots for specific products or dose sequence numbers (e.g., a consumer wants to find appointment slots for "Moderna Second Dose" appointments). https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/smart-scheduling-links/pull/15 proposes a way to address this.
(It'd be possible to do this with more specific service type codes as well, but it's nice not to have to re-define concepts from CVX.)
Thoughts?

At this point in time, my organization has taken the position that we do not expose vaccine manufacturer information to customer when scheduling first doses. In reality, they can figure it out by looking at whether it's one dose or two and how far apart the appointments are for second dose, but I'm not sure we would be willing to publish this level of detail about our appointment slots. I would have to ask my business teammates.

... but if you ask the question re: 2nd dose scheduling, the answer must be "yes, this info is published," right? Thinking about the vaccinefinder.org UX, too:

In any case, this level of detail would be an optional element in the spec.

I'll merge this to make sure the idea is visible...

but will look for feedback on this approach (vs, say, adding HealthcareService resources to capture these sorts of details)
