Denmark announced Wednesday it will halt its COVID-19 vaccination program because the country has control of the pandemic.

A successful vaccination push and increased natural immunity among the population after omicron spread through the country helped make the decision, officials said. While everyone is encouraged to finish getting vaccinated, the Danish Health Authority said it will not ask people to get vaccinated starting May 15, according to CNBC.
