From 18 years of age, the second shot’s time validity has been set at 5 months, for those from 17 and below, there is no validity time frame on their vaccine shots.

Last year the first and second shot was only available from large scale vaccine centres and only with an appointment.

This has changed considerably, and it has become much easier to get the covid-vaccine, whether the first, second or third shot, and there are plenty of appointments, so no reason to panic if your pass is about to expire and you only have 14 days to get it renewed.

The system is still so that Danish residents will receive an invitation to get their booster shot once the timelimit of 4.5 months since their second shot is reached, however, if the delay has been reached it is not necessary to wait for an invitation, it should be possible to book an appointment directly at vacciner.dk.

Booking at the official site can only be made at the official large scale vaccine centres, however, unknown to many there are also other possibilities, and some do not require pre-booking.

GPs: 
Many GPs around the country have now opened for covid-19 vaccination, both the Moderna and the Pfizer may be booked. Check with your own GP to see if they are offering it or look at the  list of GP’s offering vaccination on the map and list here. You do NOT need to be a patient to get the vaccine at a GP offering it – but check with the GP’s website for more information. If you do not need to be patient it will be written: Du behøver ikke være inskrevet patient for at kunne vaccineres. They do require an appointment.

Pharmacies:
A range of pharmacies also offer the vaccines, again both Moderna and the Pfizer may be booked. Most pharmacies are open for drop in vaccination, others only by appointment (by telephone or showing up in person. Find a countrywide list of pharmacies offering the coronavirus vaccine here.

As of 16 January 2022 the validty of the vaccine pass has changed:

Last chance, get your third vaccine shot now. From Sunday 16 January 2022, the validity of the second shot will be set at 5 MONTHS from the second shot. Approximately 400,000 Danish residents’ corona pass will expire on Sunday. For those with a coronapass based on a past infection/ positive PCR test, the validity is also set at five months from the date of the postive PCR test.

A negative test (PCR and Quick test) is still valid to get a corona pass, so this option is maintained.
