Denmark started vaccinating against COVID-19 on 27 December 2020.[1] Vaccination in Denmark is free of cost and voluntary.[1] It is available to all residents of Denmark and those from abroad staying for more than 30 days in Denmark.[1] Denmark has one of the highest levels of COVID-19 vaccination in the European Union as of the end of September 2021.[2] In April 2022, Denmark announced the suspension of its COVID-19 vaccination program, making it the first country in the world to do so.[3] 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.[4]
