Vaccination against Covid-19

Combination of different vaccines against Covid-19

A recent study by the University of Saarland indicates that a combination of vaccines from AstraZeneca and Biontech/Pfizer leads to a higher immunisation. The DP MPs Claude Lamberty and Carole Hartmann have asked the Minister of Health, among other things, whether such a combination, once the results are confirmed, will also be considered in Luxembourg?

« Des scientifiques de l’Université de la Sarre ont rassemblé des preuves préliminaires dans une étude suggérant qu’une combinaison des vaccins AstraZeneca et Biontech/Pfizer suscite une meilleure réponse immunitaire de l’organisme au Sars-CoV-2 qu’une double immunisation avec le vaccin AstraZeneca.

À ce sujet, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé :

  • Sur les 415.048 doses du vaccin AstraZeneca, commandées auprès de la Commission européenne, combien le Luxembourg a-t-il reçu à ce jour et combien de personnes ont été vaccinées avec ce vaccin à ce jour ?
  • Le gouvernement a-t-il l’intention de commander des doses supplémentaires du vaccin AstraZeneca ?
  • Madame la Ministre, si les résultats scientifiques mentionnés ci-dessus sont confirmés, auront-ils un impact sur la stratégie de vaccination du gouvernement et, dans l’affirmative, de quelle manière ? »
