Aim: The COVID 19 outbreak continues today with significant morbidity and mortality. Healthcare workers have the
highest risk in this epidemic. Therefore, vaccination was first started from healthcare workers. In this study, we aimed to
examine the antibody levels of healthcare workers after vaccination.
Material and Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total of 102 healthcare workers who were given CoronaVac vaccine
and whose antibody levels were checked after vaccination were included in the study.
Results: The seventy seven (75.5%) of the cases were male, 25 (24.5%) were female, the mean age was 43.25 ± 9.97. 8
(7.8%) of the cases had previously had COVID-19. The mean antibody level was 1768.02 ± 3586.09. Antibody mean in
women was 2127.9 ± 4716.1; it was 1651.2 ± 3163.8 in men. No statistical difference was found between age and gender
and antibody level (Respectively; p=0.564, p=0.596).
Conclusion: Post-vaccination antibody development was good among healthcare workers. All of the healthcare workers
who had COVID-19 had an antibody response. There were only 3 individuals who did not develop antibody response.

Amaç: COVID 19 salgını günümüzde önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite ile devam etmektedir. Sağlık personeli bu salgında en yüksek riske sahiptir. O nedenle aşılamada ilk başta sağlık çalışanlarından başlanmıştır. Biz bu çalışmada aşı sonrası sağlık personellerinin antikor düzeyini irdelemeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu bir retrospektif çalışmadır. CoronaVac aşısı yapılan ve aşı sonrası antikor seviyesi bakılan toplam 102 sağlık personeli çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Vakaların 77 (%75.5)’si erkek, 25 (%24.5)’i kadın, yaş ortalaması 43,25±9,97 idi. Vakaların 8 (%7.8)’i daha önce COVID-19 geçirmişti. Ortalama antikor seviyesi 1768,02 ± 3586,09 idi. Kadınlarda antikor ortalaması 2127,9±4716,1; erkeklerde 1651,2±3163,8 idi. Fakat cinsiyet ile antikor seviyesi arasında fark yoktu (p=0.564). Yaş ve antikor seviyesi arasında da fark saptanmadı (p=0.596).
Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanları arasında aşı sonrası antikor gelişimi iyiydi. COVID-19 geçiren sağlık çalışanlarının tümünde antikor yanıtı vardı. Populasyonda antikor yanıtı gelişmeyen sadece 3 kişi idi.
