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 ? »

More legal certainty before the labour court?

If a staff representative has been suspended due to serious misconduct, an employer can request that the employment relationship be terminated in court, e.g. via a counterclaim. However, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann were informed that the President of the Labour Court repeatedly rejects these applications. This leads to problems in the enforcement of labour law and to legal and financial difficulties for the employer. The DP MPs therefore wanted to know from the Minister of Labour how he interprets the relevant paragraph in the Labour Code, whether the rejection of the counterclaim by the President of the Labour Court is in accordance with the law and whether more legal certainty should be provided.
