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 ? »

DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health why these results are not communicated and whether this is compatible with data protection regulations.

How long are the waiting times at the “Travel Clinic”?

If you are travelling to tropical regions, you can get advice and be vaccinated against various diseases at the CHL’s “Travel Clinic”. However, the waiting times at this clinic are currently said to be quite long.
DP MPs Dr Gérard Schockmel and Gilles Baum have asked the Minister of Health how many patients have been seen at the “Travel Clinic” over the last ten years, how waiting times have developed over this period and whether it would not make sense to make it possible to book appointments online, as is the case with many other CHL services.
