COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Denmark seems to have failed to reach its target of 90% of people over the age of 12 having been vaccinated twice by Oct. 1 as the latest official figures show 84.9% have gotten both shots.
The latest official figures by Danish Health Authorities show that 4,366,235 people have gotten both shots.
Those who have gotten the first shot — 4,453,321 people — represent 86.6% of those over the age of 12.
