"I did not receive an offer for a logistical solution, or any thought outside the box"
However, children of home-confined parents described difficulties.
According to them, they have so far failed to coordinate vaccine-adapted shuttles for their families, nor have they been offered such a solution.
They point to gaps between the guidelines and the actual situation, and express frustration that the responsibility lies with their development.
For example, Alexandra said in a conversation that both her parents are nursing and can not get vaccinated.
"Two days ago I was able to get my parents' HMO, and the answer I got was: 'You will be vaccinated at the end, after we vaccinate them all.' I did not receive any offer for an ambulance or a logistical solution, or any thought outside the box," she said.
She said the burden of finding a solution to the vaccine has passed to the family: "I now have to look for ways to vaccinate both my parents," she said.
She noted that although the Ministry of Health claims that they gave instructions, they do not see the implementation in the field and those who need the vaccine the most - have not yet been vaccinated.
"We need to see what happens now," she added.
Transparent population
Aviva, whose mother is 82 years old and is defined as housebound, said in the conversation that her mother did not leave the house for a year.
"I'm here to shout her cry. She's thirsty to go out and come back to the good life. You see her every day fading, just fading, with no desire to live. She's at risk, but I prefer to call it a transparent population, not to be seen. If this thing is not. "It will be resolved, she will continue to stay at home, in forced isolation, in decline, lack of motivation. We will just lose her."
Vered, whose 87-year-old mother is home-bound and suffering from lung disease, said she tried to find out with her HMO about a solution to the issue from the moment they started with the vaccines.
"I initially accepted the explanations with understanding, but I stopped accepting it with understanding because I do not believe it is impossible, and there are people whose time is limited. I am not sure that my mother will reach the stage where she will get to see her granddaughters and great-grandchildren again."
According to Yifat Solel of the Yes to the Elderly Association, "We have heard from the beginning of the vaccinations how important the housewives are. We are a month and a half before the vaccinations begin, and this has not yet been resolved."
"The system is supposed to take care of that, not associations. The funds have no solutions and are not obligated to do so," she said.
"I stopped accepting it with understanding."

Dr. Ezra from the Ministry of Health noted that there are solutions for bringing the confined to the vaccination complexes. "Since we understand that confined people - most of them when there is a suitable transport, whether it is an ambulance, a vehicle with a leaflet, other means of transport or assistance - can arrive, we are really busy this.
The one who leads it is the health funds. "According to her, every clinic has a liaison for housewives.
Former Minister Cohen said that"
vaccinating housewives
should be our top priority, as it is a group at risk, as those around them can be infected with the virus even if they have been vaccinated. Because the vaccine protects the vaccinated but not necessarily its environment.
The operational problems resulting from the inability to shake the vaccine are completely understandable, but we have been stuck at the same point for over a month and a half and it is our duty to provide creative solutions to this problem as soon as possible. "
The problem: splitting the trays into units
At this point the trays cannot be split into single units and therefore cannot be vaccinated in homes.
Along with trying to bring as many homeless people as possible to the vaccination centers, the Ministry of Health says that they are working so that even a single vial can be moved, for those who can not leave the house at all, but even in this case additional vaccinators will be required.
"In terms of priorities, of course, those confined to the house are a top priority for the vaccine. This is the logistical difficulty of bringing the vaccine to them at home in terms of the ability to shake and all sorts of limitations of the vaccine," said Gilad.
