[Best Bet] COVID Vaccine at VA Facilities

[johnhashva]

Description

The VA is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other federal partners to provide COVID-19 vaccines to Veterans and VA health care personnel. The Find a Facility tool has just added COVID vaccine as a search categoryand we want to create a Best Bet to ensure veterans seeking looking information are aware of this new tool feature.

Since November 2020, “covid vaccine” has appeared in 2,700 VA.gov onsite search queries — ranking #25 for top search terms.

To Be Done

@davidconlon (with @DanielleThierryUSDSVA) -- After conferring, Danielle and I have decided to Icebox this one as there is currently no "value add" local COVID vaccine distribution info being provided on the facility sites. Once there is, we can revisit the need for a Best Bet.
