Denmark has become the first country to halt its Covid vaccination program, saying it is doing so because the virus is now under control.
“Spring has arrived, vaccine coverage in the Danish population is high, and the epidemic has reversed,” the Danish Health Authority said in a statement Wednesday.
“Therefore, the National Board of Health is now ending the broad vaccination efforts against Covid-19 for this season,” it said. People will not be invited for vaccines from May 15, it said, although everyone will be able to finish their course of vaccination.
Covid cases are rising as omicron sub-variant grows Denmark’s Covid vaccination campaign began soon after Christmas in 2020. Some 4.8 million citizens have been vaccinated, the health authority said, with more than 3.6 million people receiving a booster shot.
At the same time, many people have been infected since the omicron variant became the dominant strain of the virus, it said, meaning immunity levels among the population are high.
“We are in a good place,” Bolette Soborg, unit manager at the National Board of Health, commented.
“We have good control of the epidemic, which seems to be subsiding. Admission rates [to hospitals] are stable and we also expect them to fall soon. Therefore, we are rounding up the mass vaccination program against Covid-19.”
Soborg insisted that the public can still be vaccinated over the spring and summer if they want, and that vaccination sites will remain open around the country.
He added that immunization was still recommended to people for whom Covid poses a heightened risk, such as those over the age of 40 and for unvaccinated pregnant women. “We also continue to recommend that you complete your started vaccination course,” he said.
Vaccinations likely to resume Denmark’s move to suspend its vaccination program comes as the Covid situation around the world remains mixed. Europe and the U.S. have abandoned most Covid restrictions, but China is still imposing (or considering) lockdowns as the virus spreads in major cities like Shanghai and Beijing.
Far from scrapping its vaccination program altogether, however, the Danish Health and Medicines Authority said there will probably be a need to vaccinate against Covid-19 again in the fall as the virus continues to mutate.
Why China shows no sign of backing away from its ‘zero-Covid’ strategy New variants have emerged over the course of the pandemic, which is now into its third year. These have eroded the efficacy of the Covid vaccines that were developed in record time in 2020, although the shots authorized for use in the West remain effective at preventing serious infection, hospitalization and death from Covid-19.
With the vaccination program likely to restart in a few months’ time, Denmark’s health experts will be looking at who should be vaccinated, when the shots should be given and which vaccines should be used.
The Danish Health and Medicines Authority said it would continue to follow the development of the epidemic closely, and is ready to restart vaccination efforts again if there is a need to immunize additional target groups before the fall.
I hate to say it, but some (though by no means all) of the Euro-trash countries have been far less susceptible to the covid kool-aid than much of the U.S.
I wonder if as an uninjected US citizen you could fly into Copenhagen and then travel into the EU countries by train car etc. without proving vaccination status?
Yet they still call it a vaccine. It’s not a vaccine.
Hmmmm.....
Denmark: Three hepatitis cases reported in children

Still a bit dishonest.
No mention that the current vaccine (2.5 years old) is minimally effective against the current coronavirus strain. Nor is there mention of the fact the the current strain is on par with the common cold (Delta was like standard influenza. The original strain similar to pandemic influenza’s)
Cases of Hepatitis of Unknown Origin in Children Raise Alarm
...No link to COVID-19 vaccination has been established...
That's a change from the previous vaxxes didn't do it line...
A lot of info in this one. No mention of hepatitis, but still informative. Published this month...
My wife was recently required to get a PCR test (long story...).
The legal disclaimer after the test results (which were “no Covid”) were hilarious.
Basically they said they take no legal responsibility for any consequences if the test results are wrong.
Total joke.
Unexplained liver test elevations after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination
They still lie, calling it a "vaccine" and word-weasel in that they'll bring it back again.
Interesting that they’re changing their wording. Thx.
So, no more bad colds eh?
🔬😨😷💉🐂💨💩💸
Interesting to compare Covid death rates in the Scandinavian countries.

Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark have all had three waves since the pandemic began. Sweden’s first two were its biggest with a smaller third wave. Denmark’s waves grew bigger each time. In fact, its third wave, which peaked in March, was bigger than Sweden’s. Norway and Finland had very small second waves but their recent third waves were bigger than their first ones. Finland’s third wave was roughly on par with Sweden’s (per capita) while Norway’s was substantially smaller. Overall, Norway has had the lowest Covid death rates of the Scandies.

Connecticut appears to show a large recent wave of deaths on Worldometer, bigger than other waves. When you look closer, it appears that they aren’t reporting daily anymore. If you ask for the 7 day average, the most recent wave is lower than the other waves.
These guys (IHME, an international group that leans left but has well presented data) show Connecticut with a third wave that’s much smaller than its first wave and with a peak that’s about as tall as the second wave but not as broad:

Thank you for the link. There’s a boatload of data there.
Sure thing. I like that they’ve made it easy to overlay data from different countries and states.
