I have not seen any organization advocating for earlier vaccine administration on behalf of the homebound disabled. So many of us are dependent on family for our basic needs. We can not isolate from those on whom we depend. What when we have several comorbidities making it imperative that we protect ourselves from Covid-19? Those with disabilities are not mentioned in any phase of distribution. I think Hubert Humphrey summed it up well: “The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.”
