I don’t think the original title was misleading. It says on the page: Who will be offered vaccination against covid-19? People aged 50 years and over will be offered vaccination. People aged under 50 who are at a higher risk of becoming severely ill from covid-19 will also be offered vaccination against covid-19. It doesn’t say people under 50 who have had 2 or fewer shots. The comment you responded to seems to be a partial if not total fabrication. I don’t see indication of any sort of “roll over eligibility”. And I don’t think the official recommendation would be 2 shots for everyone since the linked page clearly states it is no longer offered for under 18s, and Søren Brostrøm, director of the health authority, saying it was a mistake to give it to any under 18s, and if you read between the lines and look at the data it was probably a mistake to give it to any under 50s.

The page explicitly and repeatedly affirms the argument made upthread, is about "re-vaccination", and cites population-wide adherence to Denmark's first round of vaccinations as the reason why re-vaccination is required only for high risk groups. You aren't meant to "read between the lines" to generate a new title on Hacker News.

  Put two and two together, if they are saying the risk benefit from the shots is negative for children who aren’t at risk from the virus, then don’t you think the same would apply to adults who aren’t at risk from the virus? The extent to which people seem to have given up independent thinking around this issue seems troubling. Read between the lines because unfortunately it is highly unlikely to see politicians and public health authorities say this so bluntly when they were the ones just recently pushing these, on net deleterious shots. A sensitive issue and political minefield to say the least. Why should people get the original shot if they haven’t already? It clearly doesn’t work, it clearly has potential for very negative side effects, and even if it did work it is designed for the original strain, which isn’t around anymore. Makes no sense… I meant read between the lines for your own well being and that of others to see the writing on the wall of what is going on here, not as a principle for the HN style guide. >cites population wide adherence That is just face-saving. “Re-vaccination” is offered not required. It has nothing to with previous widespread injections. That had if anything negative overall effect. More people have died from the virus after the shots than before. The shots were supposed to stop contraction of the virus, let alone dying from it. I know it’s sucks to think about, cognitive dissonance inducing even, especially if you were gung-ho on the injection bandwagon just a year ago, but let’s face facts.

You are correct that vaccines are no longer offered for kids under 18, except if they have certain illnesses or conditions. Vaccines including first booster is still offered and recommended for everyone above 18. Second booster (i.e. fourth jab) only offered to people above 50.

This also applies even if they are younger than 50, as there may be a certain risk of serious illness if you are not vaccinated.
