Year 2017, Volume 2, Issue 1(4), 20 - 20, 01.11.2017

Abstract

Introduction

One of the most effective ways to prevent diseases,injuries and deaths is
immunization.Preventable diseases are attributed to childhood diseases,but they
affect people from all ages.In the context of adult vaccination,health
professionals are an important group exposed to the risk of infection during
professional activities.According to the "Adult Immunization
Guide"for 2016,vaccinations recommended for health
workers;Influenza,Hepatitis
A-B,Measles-Rubella-Mumps,Tetanus-Diphtheria,Varicella vaccines.

Methods

Our research is descriptive study conducted between 2011-2015 by screening
studies,records and electronic media on the vaccination of health workers.

Results

According to data of the year 2015,there are 787.352 health personnel in
Turkey,551.559 persons in the Ministry of Health.The Ministry of Health or any
other source,no data showing the immunization status of all health workers has
been reached.According to studies conducted on two separate walks in 2013,it
was found that the health personnel exceeded 91,9-98,8% in terms of HBV.In
another study conducted in 2015,although the HBV vaccination rate was 90%
seasonal influenza vaccination(SIV) was 13,7% and measles vaccination rate was
66,7%.Similar to this study SIV ratios were found as 8-14.5% in other studies
conducted in 2013 and 2011.Causes of low SIV vaccination in the same
studies;the fear of side effects and lack of confidence,it is stated that the
vaccination of measles is the reason for the low prevalence of rash disease.

Conclusion

According to the results of regional studies only,it is stated that the
healthcare workers are the best HBV vaccine and do not give much importance to
the other vaccination.According to these studies,correcting the misinformation
of health workers and increasing their awareness will encourage
immunization.There is no immunization data of the institutional staff in the
Ministry of Health records.Regular enrollment of immunizations of all health
personnel in Turkey,including those in other public and private health
institutions,is necessary for the determination,protection and improvement of
health status of employees.
