Abstract

Nowadays, the increase in vaccinations due to the epidemic increases the density of health centers and shopping centers, which is another place where vaccinations are made, from time to time. The choice of vaccination sites varies from person to person, and this may increase the density of the vaccination sequence. The criteria that cause the increase in density were created by consulting the health personnel, the people who will be vaccinated and those who have had the vaccine, taking into account the conditions and situations that people care about. Alternatively, three different vaccine centers were selected. These centers are designated as hospitals, health centers and shopping centers. Care has been taken to ensure that the designated vaccination centers are places where daily vaccinations are performed. In order to determine the criteria, the opinions of the people were taken by applying a questionnaire. Thus, in this study, which was conducted for the first time, it was investigated which places were more dense with the determined nine criteria and the parameters affecting this density were tried to be analyzed with the Fuzzy ELECTRE I method. Knowing the reasons for these densities and revealing which institutions people frequently prefer for vaccination can prevent problems.
