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 MPs Carole Hartmann and Mandy Minella have asked the relevant ministers whether paid dispensation from work or an equivalent mechanism will be introduced for pregnant self-employed workers.

Introduction of skin cancer screening?

Since 2008, skin cancer screening has been available in Germany for all policyholders aged 35 and over. As a result, many cases of skin cancer are detected earlier.
DP MPs André Bauler and Gilles Baum wanted to know from the Minister for Health how skin cancer figures have developed here in the country since 2013, whether such screening would also be useful in Luxembourg and why only figures for melanoma (black skin cancer) are collected.
