What about the validity of the Covid-19 vaccination?

Some countries restrict the validity of the Covid-19 vaccination for entry into their country. For people who were vaccinated at the beginning of the year, the validity of the vaccination will therefore expire soon. The DP MPs Claude Lamberty and Carole Hartmann asked the responsible ministers whether Luxembourg also plans to introduce such a validity limit and what can be done at EU level.

« Les premières personnes au Luxembourg ont été vaccinées contre la Covid-19 à la fin du mois de décembre 2020. Actuellement, certains pays s’apprêtent à renforcer les conditions d’entrée en limitant la durée de validité de la vaccination Covid-19. En Croatie, la première vaccination ne doit pas avoir été effectuée depuis plus de 270 jours. En Autriche, la limite est de 360 jours depuis la deuxième dose du vaccin.

Cela signifie que bientôt, pour les premières personnes, le certificat de vaccination contre la Covid-19 ne sera plus suffisant pour entrer dans certains pays.

Dans ce contexte, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé et à Monsieur le Ministre des Affaires étrangères et européennes :

  • Madame la Ministre, le Luxembourg envisage-t-il de limiter la validité de la vaccination contre la Covid-19 ?
  • Madame et Monsieur les Ministres, sont-ils informés sur les faits que d’autres pays européens vont introduire de telles restrictions d’entrée ?
  • Le Luxembourg préconisera-t-il des conditions d’entrée uniformes au sein de l’Union européenne ? »

How has the situation of “Dubliners” in Luxembourg developed over the past few years?

This is because the options are scarce and the existing places are overcrowded. Priority should be given to children, women and vulnerable people. But how have the numbers developed over the past few years and how did we get into this situation? Our MPs Corinne Cahen and Gusty Graas inquired with the relevant ministry.

Do rapid diagnostic tests help against antibiotic shortages?

France is considering only allowing antibiotics to be prescribed if a rapid diagnostic test is carried out beforehand. This would make it possible to determine with certainty whether the infection is bacterial or viral.
This could on the one hand counteract the lack of antibiotics and on the other hand reduce antibiotic resistance.
DP MPs Gilles Baum and Gusty Graas asked the Minister of Health how many antibiotics have been prescribed in Luxembourg in the last five years and whether doctors should be made more aware of prescribing diagnostic tests.
