Huldai welcomed Gamzo’s decision to vaccinate teachers with the surplus of the remaining vaccine doses, and attacked Health Minister Aldstein. “Once it became clear that there were thousands of vaccines that would be thrown in the trash, the right decision was made to give vaccines to the teaching staffs who are at the forefront. Ichilov, the director of Ichilov, wrote straight on Twitter,” Huldai wrote on Twitter.

Edelstein, small politics is not us.
This is our business management.

The clash that began yesterday between the health minister and the former Korna commissioner came after Ichilov noted that they had about 4,000 vaccine doses left, which expired on Monday, and it was decided to prioritize teaching staff, who are the next priority group, and not invite young people at random.
Following this, Health Minister Edelstein said that he “takes seriously the reports of vaccinations in Tel Aviv for those who are not in the priority groups.” The Minister instructed the director general of his office, Prof. Hezi Levy, to stop the vaccination allocations to Ichilov Hospital and examine the following allocations. “This is a national resource and should be treated in this way,” the minister said.
Prof. Gamzo, for his part, responded: “The hospital followed the Ministry of Health’s priority guidelines, in which, when inventory formation, an age group over 55 and chronic patients should be vaccinated, and later a second priority – teachers and police officers. The surplus we faced in the afternoon was about 3,000 vaccine doses. “Probably due to the high rate of immunization in Tel Aviv.”
