Abstract

Amaç: Koronavirüs pandemisi sürecinde aşıların keşfi, bağışıklık gelişmesi ve virüs etkilerinin azalması açısından umut olmuştur. Ancak her tedavi yönteminde olduğu gibi, aşıların da yan etki oluşturma riski mevcuttur. Gelişen yan etkileri kategorize etmek ve ciddi yan etki gelişmediğini göstermek amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada; inaktive aşı uygulamasında gelişen yan etkilerle acil servise gelen hastalar incelenmeye çalışıldı. Materyal Method: Çalışmaya Ocak-Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında, COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) aşısı (Sinovac-CoronaVac) uygulanan sağlık çalışanları ve 80 yaş üstü kişilerden, yan etki gelişip acil servise başvuran hastalar dahil edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil olan hastalardan 82’si (%82,8) sağlık çalışanı, 17’si (%17,2) ise 80 yaş üstü grupta idi. En sık COVID benzeri bulgular (%47,5) saptanmıştır. İlk doz aşı sonrası acil servis başvurularının hızı %69,7 (n=69) iken, 2. doz aşı sonrası başvuruların %30,3’e (n=30) gerilediği gözlenmiştir. Sonuç: Genel olarak aşı sonrası yan etkiler tolere edilebilir düzeydedir ve hayati risk oluşturmamaktadır. Ayrıca aşılanma sonrası virüs ile enfekte olma riski düşüktür. Bu yüzden aşı tereddütü daha fazla risk alınmasına sebep olabilir.

THE SIDE-EFFECTS OF COVID-19 VACCINE (CORONAVAC) :A STUDY IN A PROVINCE OF TURKEY

Abstract

Objective: The discovery of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic was encouraged to establish immunity and decrease the effects of the virus. Vaccines, like any other medicine, include the possibility of side effects. This study was carried out to categorize the side effects and to show that no severe side effects developed. In this study, we aimed to examine the patients who came to the emergency department with side effects after administering the inactivated vaccine. Material Methods: In this study, between January and March 2021, healthcare workers and people over 80 who applied to the emergency department after developing a side effect after administering the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccine were included. Results: In the study, 82 (82.8%) were healthcare professionals, and 17 (17.2%) were in the over-80 age group. The most common side effect was COVID-like findings (47.5%). While the rate of applications to the emergency department after the first dose of vaccination was69.7% (n=69), it was observed that it decreased to 30.3% (n=30) after the second dose of the vaccine. Conclusion: In general, post-vaccination side effects are tolerable and not life-threatening. Furthermore, the risk of becoming infected with the virus post-vaccination is lower. Therefore, hesitation to vaccinate may cause more risk.
