GeoCompare

Incomplete, Discontinued, and Unmaintained

This project was never completed beyond simple code for downloading data from various sources and is no longer being maintained. If this is something that interests you, we direct your attention to https://github.com/CAVaccineInventory/vaccine-feed-ingest which is the code powering the https://www.vaccinatethestates.com/ project by the Vaccinate CA team to map all of the vaccination sites in the United States.

Some of the concepts from GeoCompare, such as the idea of a "fetcher" as downloading the data directly for offline operation carry over really well from this project. If youre interested in national COVID vaccination site datasets, GISCorps also has a team of volunteers maintaining a national dataset.

A tool to help automate the merging of geographical data (i.e. data that has coordinate values) across datasets.

This is useful for things like combining state-level vaccination site data into a national data set, and associating existing lists of vaccination sites with entries in a national database
