The Danish Health Authority (Sundhedsstyrelsen) has set out a timescale and prioritisation for offering Covid-19 vaccines to the general population of the country.

According to latest figures from the authority, 320,908 people have so far received the first dose of the vaccination. Of these, 175,555 have also received a second dose.

The calendar for vaccination is regularly reviewed and updated depending on supply, expected approval of future vaccines and other factors which can affect the speed at which the country rolls out vaccination.

Some of the calendar (the ‘middle’ green colour in the below chart) sets out already planned vaccines with confirmed and secured, while the lightest green is contingent upon expected supply. The darkest green in the chart below represents vaccines already given.

The health authority most recently updated the schedule on Thursday, February 26th.

What’s the order of prioritisation?

The prioritisation for vaccination as set out by the Danish Health Authority places people who live in care homes first in line for receiving the jab. Over 90 percent of all care home residents have received a first jab at the time of writing.

The next group is people over the age of 65 who receive living assistance at home. After that, people over the age of 85. According to health authority figures, 56 percent of people in the 85-89 age group have received a first vaccination, and 76 percent of people over 90 years old.

After this, the groups run as follows (scheduled dates as of February 26th, please note dates are approximate and based on readings of the Danish Health Authority calendar):

Children under the age of 16 and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding will not be offered the vaccine unless medical assessment finds this to be necessary – for example in cases of serious disease.
