Denmark recommends COVID-19 vaccination for those over 50 years only

Posted on by Jesse Santiano, M.D.

This article features the policy of the Danish Health Authority regarding COVID-19 shots. Notice that they use the words recommend and offer, not mandate or required.

The Danish Health Authority does recommend the COVID shots to everyone. They recommend it to the vulnerable who are more than 50 years old.

The quotes are from DHA, and I put my comments in between.

The Danish Health Authority expects that the number of covid-19 infections will increase during autumn and winter.

Therefore, we recommend vaccination of people aged 50 years and over as well as selected risk groups.

Denmark focuses on the population at the highest risk of getting severe COVID-19.

Who will be offered vaccination against covid-19?

People aged 50 years and over will be offered vaccination.

People aged under 50 who are at a higher risk of becoming severely ill from covid-19 will also be offered vaccination against covid-19.

Staff in the healthcare and elderly care sector as well as in selected parts of the social services sector who have close contact with patients or citizens who are at higher risk of becoming severely ill from covid-19 will also be offered booster vaccination against covid-19.

In addition, we recommend that relatives of persons at particularly higher risk accept the offer of vaccination to protect their relatives who are at particularly higher risk.

Denmark’s policy does not give unrealistic expectations on what the shots can do.

Why are people aged under 50 not to be re-vaccinated?

The purpose of the vaccination programme is to prevent severe illness, hospitalisation and death. Therefore, people at the highest risk of becoming severely ill will be offered booster vaccination.

The purpose of vaccination is not to prevent infection with covid-19, and people aged under 50 are therefore currently not being offered booster vaccination.

People aged under 50 are generally not at particularly higher risk of becoming severely ill from covid-19.

In addition, younger people aged under 50 are well protected against becoming severely ill from covid-19, as a very large number of them have already been vaccinated and have previously been infected with covid-19, and there is consequently good immunity among this part of the population.

Their policy considered natural immunity developed among the population and realized that vaccine-induced immunity wanes over time. 

Why do we need to re-vaccinate?

We have achieved very high population immunity in Denmark. This is due both to the high adherence to the vaccination programme and to many people previously having been infected with covid-19.
However, we expect that this immunity will gradually decrease over time.
In addition, we know that covid-19 is a seasonal disease and that the number of infections are expected to increase during autumn and winter.

The variant-updated shots that will be offered are the ones that are dominant in society. According to the European CDC, the variants of concern now are the BA.2, BA.4, and BA.5.

The Moderna booster shot for BA.4 and BA.5 has only been tested in 8-10 mice. Check out the Moderna slide below presented to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). No word on how many mice died due to side effects.

In the US, the FDA emergency use authorized (not approved) the  Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent in individuals 18 years of age and older. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent, is authorized in individuals 12 years and older.

Denmark has a different policy.

COVID jabs are not recommended for those younger than 18

Children and adolescents rarely become severely ill from the Omicron variant of covid-19.

From 1 July 2022, it was no longer possible for children and adolescents aged under 18 to get the first injection and, from 1 September 2022, it was no longer possible for them to get the second injection.

A very limited number of children at particularly higher risk of becoming severely ill will still be offered vaccination based on an individual assessment by a doctor.

I like this part where they list the situations where people should not get the jabs. It applies to all nationalities.

Situations in which you should not be vaccinated

You should not be vaccinated against covid-19 if you have:

  1. A known, ascertained allergy to the vaccine (for example an immediate allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) in connection with the first injection).
  2. A known allergy to one of the excipients in the vaccine

Allergies to the vaccine excipients can lead to more than a skin rash.

Situations in which you should postpone vaccination

  1. You are acutely ill with a fever above 38°. You can be vaccinated if you only have a slight fever or light infections such as a common cold. However, you should always consider whether you might have covid-19 in this connection.
  2. You have covid-19 or suspect that you have covid-19.
  3. You have had covid-19 within one month before vaccination.
  4. You have been tested due to suspicion of covid-19 or because you are a close contact of an infected person.
  5. You are to undergo surgery within one week before or after vaccination.

Recently, I heard an account where a person who was ill with COVID-19 consented to get the COVID jab. He died soon afterward. That’s because COVID “vaccines” prevent the immune response from getting rid of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses.

Decreased immunity after the shots manifests as shingles. Shingles after COVID-19 Vaccination

Situations in which you should consult a doctor before being vaccinated

  1. You have been informed that there is a suspicion of allergy to macrogol/PEG/polyethylene glycol.
  2. You have previously had an immediate allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) after vaccination or after injection of another medicinal product.
  3. You have previously repeatedly had an immediate allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) after ingestion of other medicinal products (for example laxatives, stomach acid drugs).
  4. You have mastocytosis (a rare disease of the body’s mast cells).

It is refreshing to see a government agency that follows science, not politics, in formulating its recommendations.
