* Elderly (especially those in crowded conditions)
* Critical workers (Those who keep society going as food processing, etc.)
* Those who are required to work or live in crowded conditions (prison inmates, inmate workers)

Even the above may have lists within list. I expect deeper in the list might be people who travel or have a larger potential for spreading infection than the general population. You would probably find the traveling portion of F1 in that list.

In the UK - the priority list has been published by the Govt.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) list reads:

This interim ranking of priorities is a combination of clinical risk stratification and an age-based approach, which should optimise both targeting and deliverability. A provisional ranking of prioritisation for persons at-risk is set out below:

1-older adults’ resident in a care home and care home workers
2-all those 80 years of age and over and health and social care workers
3-all those 75 years of age and over
4-all those 70 years of age and over
5-all those 65 years of age and over
6-high-risk adults under 65 years of age
7-moderate-risk adults under 65 years of age
8-all those 60 years of age and over
9-all those 55 years of age and over
10-all those 50 years of age and over
11-rest of the population (priority to be determined)
The prioritisation could change substantially if the first available vaccines were not considered suitable for, or effective in, older adults.
