COVID-19 vaccination in Denmark

Denmark started vaccinating against COVID-19 on 27 December 2020. Vaccination in Denmark is free of cost and voluntary. It is available to all residents of Denmark and those from abroad staying for more than 30 days in Denmark. Denmark has one of the highest levels of COVID-19 vaccination in the European Union as of the end of September 2021. In April 2022, Denmark announced the suspension of its COVID-19 vaccination program, making it the first country in the world to do so. As of October 2022 the Danish Health Authorities recommend a booster vaccination to people aged 50 and over, as well as selected risk groups. They do so due to the expectation of an increasing number of COVID-19 infections during the autumn and winter months.
