Denmark will stop vaccinating people against Covid as health chiefs say the country now has the pandemic under control.

It is believed to be the first nation to undertake the move with the Danish Health Authority claiming it is in a “good position”.

High levels of vaccinations, a drop in the number of new infections and stabilising hospitalisation rates were cited as contributing factors to the decision to halt the national immunisation drive.
