Two pediatricians have worked in both Denmark and the US and think it is unreasonable for the CDC to recommend a vaccination schedule similar to Denmark's in the US. The Danish vaccination schedule includes vaccines against 10 diseases, while the American one covers 16 diseases. In the US, the annual flu vaccine is recommended for all children 6 months to 18 years of age, which is about 17-18 doses. Denmark has a population of approximately 6 million, comparable to the population of the state of Maryland. Denmark has historically tolerated higher rates of diseases such as chicken pox compared to the US. In the US, medical costs are high and there is no free health care like in Denmark. The HHS Department of Health plans to revise the childhood vaccination schedule based on the Danish model, with an announcement delayed until 2026.[1][2]
