**

Populations of great concern, defined as populations where 30% or more of the population has an expected phenotype of reduced protection by the vaccine due to having two alleles of concern for a single HLA locus, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Alleles of concern are defined as alleles predicted to bind four or fewer vaccine epitopes.
