QCovid

QCovid was an online clinical assessment tool intended to determine an individual's risk of hospitalization or death from COVID-19. It was housed by Oxford Computer Consultants, and used by NHS Digital to identify “high-risk groups” to be prioritized for vaccination.[1] The website is defunct as of May 20, 2023.

History

QCovid was commissioned in 2020 by the Chief Medical Officer for England on behalf of the Government of the United Kingdom. The website was decommissioned in mid-May 2023.
