Abstract Background In Denmark, vaccination coverage is measured using the Danish Vaccination Register (DDV). In general, the vaccination coverage is high, but for some vaccinations, the coverage is suboptimal with geographical variation. This study aims to validate the vaccination coverage of the 5-year booster and identify overall reasons for non-vaccination in Copenhagen. Methods We validated the coverage of the 5-year tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis and polio booster for children born in 2010 and living in Copenhagen municipality in 2018, an area with low coverage (current estimate: 89%). We identified all children born in 2010 in the Civil Registration System and sent an electronic questionnaire to parents of children without a record of the 5-year booster in the DDV. Results Parents of 692 children were contacted and 49% participated. Of those, 186 (55%) reported that the child was vaccinated: 61% by their general practitioner and 34% abroad. The most common reason for non-vaccination was forgetfulness (31%), 26% did not want their child vaccinated and 17% had migrated from abroad and were not aware of the vaccination schedule. Considering only children with documentation for the vaccination, the corrected vaccination coverage was 91%. Conclusions We conclude that the coverage of the 5-year booster in Copenhagen is currently underestimated and should be adjusted by 2%. We recommend increased awareness from general practitioners and tailored communication about the vaccination programme targeting immigrants in Denmark.
