Denmark suspends Covid vaccination campaign
Denmark has said it is suspending its widespread Covid-19 vaccination campaign. All remaining Covid restrictions were lifted in the country in February.
Noting that the epidemic was under control and that vaccination levels were high, the Danish Health Authority said the country was in a "good position." "Therefore we are winding down the mass vaccination program against Covid-19," said Bolette Soborg, director of the authority's department of infectious diseases.
Around 81% of Denmark's 5.8 million inhabitants have received two doses of the vaccine and 61.6% have also received a booster.
Denmark noted a drop in the number of new infections and stable hospitalisation rates. While invitations for vaccinations would no longer be issued after 15 May, health officials anticipate that vaccinations would resume after the summer. "We plan to reopen the vaccination programme in the autumn.
