The COVID-19 vaccine will no longer be recommended for children, according to Søren Brostrøm, the head of the Sundhedsstyrelsen health authority. Instead, only particularly vulnerable and Danes over the age of 50 will be recommended a vaccine in the autumn.

PM defends the decision

According to Brostrøm, the vaccination of children last autumn and winter did little to slow the spread of the virus. PM Mette Frederiksen has stood by the decision, saying that no harm was done, and that it was the best decision given the information available at the time.
