Description:

Updated Feb. 15, 2022

An updated list of high-risk underlying conditions, based on what has been reported in the literature as of October 7, 2021 is provided below. The conditions are grouped by the level of evidence, with the highest level at the top. The list of underlying medical conditions is not exhaustive and will be updated as the science evolves. CDC is currently reviewing additional underlying conditions, and some of these might have sufficient evidence to be added to the list. This list should not be used to exclude people with underlying conditions from recommended preventive measures such as booster doses of vaccines or needed therapies. The process and evidence used to update the list is found in the brief of Scientific Evidence for Conditions that Increase Risk of Severe Illness.
