From the UK Report: COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report Week 3 20 January 2022
Source: COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report - week 3 (publishing.service.gov.uk)

Page 34 - Number of Covid Cases between week 51 2021 and week 2022 = 3.183,566

Page 35 - Number of Covid Cases resulting in an overnight inpatient admission between week 51 2021 and week 2022 = 15,012

"Raw" Hospitalisation rate = 15,012 / 3,183,566 = 0.47% or 1 in 212

The following table shows the risk in % terms with those categories with above average risk highlighted:
