Vaccination and offer of vaccines

In order to protect people who are at particular risk of becoming seriously ill with covid-19, influenza or pneumococci, the Danish Health Authority recommends that people in the risk groups accept the offer of vaccination.

The vaccines are offered free of charge from 1 October 2023. If you are aged 65 or over, you will receive an invitation in your Digital Post. You can see your Digital Post at borger.dk, e-Boks and mit.dk. If you are exempt from Digital Post, you will receive an invitation by post.

If you are under the age of 65 but have an illness or condition which means that you are recommended for vaccination, you will not receive an invitation. You must instead go into www.vacciner.dk, here you can book an appointment on the basis of a declaration of faith and promises.
