According to the "news" this evening, he is reducing the number of recommended vax from 17, to 11, supposedly the same as is common in the EU, with Denmark being specifically mentioned.

Knowing how responsive Trump the Upright is to 7+ figure checks, I do need to wonder if government recommendation, in the US, impacts whether insurance will pay for the vax. Do the national health plans in the EU cover all vax, whether the government "recommends" them, or not?

Ah, Google to the rescue. According to the Doc quoted in this article, fewer vax are recommended in Denmark, because their Commie, big gummit, death panel, national health system has resulted in a healthier population than the US has.

Why does Denmark recommend so few childhood vaccines? A Danish scientist explains

Q: How does the Danish situation differ from the U.S. for these diseases?

A: In general, you want to design your vaccine program so that it is tailored to the population you are responsible for. You can’t just say “we want to be like them,” because it doesn’t address the population you are dealing with.

The U.S. is much more diverse, and access to health care is much more varied. That inequality is not present in Denmark. That should influence your choice of vaccines. Vaccines are an excellent way to protect the population if you don’t have consistent access to health care. If I were in the U.S., where I know that a significant number of women get inadequate prenatal care, my opinion around the hepatitis B vaccine would be very different. In that context, compared to the situation we have in our country, broad vaccination can make sense.
