Resumo
Understanding the number of individuals at increased risk of severe disease can inform the design of strategies for shielding, managing chronic care conditions, and allocating vaccines. This tool enables governments to estimate the percentage of the population with underlying conditions that affect their risk of severe disease. The population can be classified as having no underlying conditions, one condition or multiple conditions, by 5-year age ranges and sex.
