nation administered by the family doctor, is assumed to achieve
the highest acceptance rate of approximately 70 per cent.
❖ In Gallup’s survey outside areas with structured activities 66

vaccination offer from their family doctor and 57 per cent would
accept a free offer from a vaccination clinic.

As is the case with regime B, regime D could be expanded so
that the offer included not only the group of persons over the
age of 65, but also the other risk groups indicated in the recommendations
made by the National Board of Health, based on a

Private vaccination clinics
❖ In the autumn of 1999 private vaccination clinics to an increasing
degree have offered influenza vaccination administered by
physicians and at lower prices than have previously applied in
this field.
❖
As agreed with local or central authorities or voluntary senior
citizen associations, group vaccinations are organised and advertised
in local dailies.
❖ In the autumn of 1999 the level of prices is DKK 120 to 150
for vaccination against influenza. In most cases the offer of inxxiv
