Exhibit 99.1

January 8, 2021

VIA EDGAR

Ladies and Gentleman:

On behalf of Evaxion Biotech A/S (the “Company”), which has, on the date hereof, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) its Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s ordinary shares, we respectfully request from the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) a waiver of the requirements of Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F. This letter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Registration Statement.

The Registration Statement contains audited financial statements for each of the two years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, in each case prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which is applicable to the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 4(a) of Form F-1, states that because this is the Company’s IPO, the Registration Statement must include audited financial statements of a date not older than 12 months unless a waiver is obtained. See also Division of Corporation Finance, Financial Reporting Manual, Section 6220.3.

Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F provides that the Commission will waive the 12-month age of financial statements requirement “in cases where the company is able to represent adequately to us that it is not required to comply with this requirement in any other jurisdiction outside the United States and that complying with this requirement is impracticable or involves undue hardship.” See also the Staff’s 2004 release entitled International Reporting and Disclosure Issues in the Division of Corporation Finance (available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/internatl/cfirdissues1104.htm), Section III.B.c, in which the Staff notes:

“…the instruction indicates that the staff will waive the 12-month requirement where it is not applicable in the registrant’s other filing jurisdictions and is impracticable or involves undue hardship. As a result, we expect that the vast majority of IPOs will be subject only to the 15-month rule. The only times that we anticipate audited financial statements will be filed under the 12-month rule are when the registrant must comply with the rule in another jurisdiction, or when those audited financial statements are otherwise readily available.” (emphasis added)

We hereby respectfully request that the Staff waive the requirement of Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F applicable to the Registration Statement. In connection with this request, the Company represents to the Staff that:
