The Danish National Board of Health recommended that all children between 5 and 11 years old be given Covid-19 vaccines. This was the first EU country to do so.

We now have approvals for children aged five to eleven years. This is what we need. The world is still reeling from an epidemic, and we are facing a historical health crisis.
The board’s recommendation comes after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended on Thursday that the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine could be safely used in children from the age of five.
Probst explained that children within the age range were not at increased risk from severe Covid-19. However, it was important to vaccinate them in order to protect their loved ones and family. “We want to break those chains of infection with the vaccination,”Elle added.
However, the National Board of Health has not yet set a target number for vaccinations that should be given to children aged 5 to 11. “But if we reach 70 percent, then it will be good,”Probst stated this to media.
This booklet is provided by government to inform parents about how they can vaccinate their child.
