Abstract
The supply limitations of COVID-19 vaccines have led to the need to prioritize vaccine distribution. Obesity, diabetes and hypertension have been associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19 infection. Approximately half as many individuals with a cardiovascular risk factor need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to prevent related death as compared with individuals without a risk factor. Adults with body-mass index ≥30kg/m2, diabetes or hypertension should be of a similar priority for COVID-19 vaccination to adults 10 years older with a body-mass index 20 to <30kg/m2, no diabetes and no hypertension.
