A man in his early 60s died at Hvidovre Hospital on Wednesday night. According to Claus Lund, a senior doctor at the hospital, the man was already seriously ill from a chronic condition.
It was later announced that a man in his 30s, who was also chronically ill, died from the virus on 12 November. No further details about that man have been released.
The two are the second and third Danes to die of the virus, after a Danish truck driver died at the end of August while working in Norway. The driver also had a pre-existing medical condition.
The Danish Medicines Agency (DMA) estimates that at least 110,000 people in risk categories have been vaccinated against H1N1 in Denmark. So far, the agency has received reports from 75 people vaccinated of 280 various side effects from the injection.
TV2 reports that of the 280 side-effects, 54 were unknown to the DMA and eight are considered serious.
