Abstract
The urgent deployment of novel vaccines during a global pandemic inevitably comes with limitations in initial vaccine supply, which requires prioritisation of population groups. Hassan-Smith and colleagues recently argued that it is essential to develop a plan "that takes the growing body of evidence on the effect of comorbidities, occupational, and socioeconomic factors on COVID-19 severity into account"
