The vulnerable population in Denmark received good news earlier this week when it was announced that the European Medicines Agency was on the brink of approving a COVID-19 vaccine for the EU.
Now the government has revealed that it expects somewhere between 200,000 and 250,000 people to be offered a vaccine over the next two months.
“As more vaccines arrive, we will vaccinate more people. Everyone will be offered a free and voluntary vaccine,” Rasmus Horn Langhoff, the spokesperson for health issues for government party Sociademokratiet, told TV2 News.

Keep and eye on e-Boks
Yesterday, PM Mette Frederiksen announced that the first Danes could be vaccinated as early as December 27.
Vulnerable groups will be notified digitally of a vaccine offer via their e-Boks, while those digitally impaired will receive a letter in the mail.
When offered a COVID-19 vaccination, further information will be provided – such as how to proceed.
More information regarding the specific vaccines will be available once they have been approved.
