Abstract
AMAÇ: ‘‘Coronavirus Disease 19’’ salgını pandemi olarak etkisini tüm dünyada sürdürmekte iken; ülkemizde pandemik aşı uygulamaları 14 Ocak 2021 tarihinde başladı. Bu çalışmada; Afyonkarahisar Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi COVID-19 aşı polikliniğinde SARS-CoV-2 aşı uygulaması yapılan kişilerin demografik özellikleri, aşılama öncesi riskli temas öyküleri ve pandemi aşılamaları konusundaki görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Pandemik aşı uygulamalarının ilk başladığı dönemde; birinci doz pandemik aşı uygulaması yapılan kişilere 17 sorudan oluşan anket yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla uygulandı. Sağlık çalışanları A grubu, diğer katılımcılar B grubu olarak sınıflandırılıp, bu iki grubun aşı olmayı isteme nedenleri, pandemiden etkilenme durumları ve diğer cevapları karşılaştırıldı.
BULGULAR: Çalışma periyodu içinde 3159 kişi aşılandı; 1682’si (%53) sağlık çalışanı olup A grubu, geri kalan1477 (% 47) kişi B grubu olarak değerlendirildi. A grubunun anlamlı olarak daha fazla bilimsel yayınlardan, B grubunun ise medyadan bilgi edindiği görüldü. Aşılanma nedenleri sorgulandığında; yakınlarına hastalık bulaştırmaktan korkma, aşı etkinliğine ve koruyuculuğuna inanma, kısıtlamalardan kurtulup normal yaşama dönme gerekçesi ile aşı olanların oranı, A grubunda B grubundan anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu.
SONUÇ: Bu çalışmanın en önemli sonucu, hastalığı ağır geçirme riski olan kişilerin aşı ile ilgili bilgilere sağlık çalışanlarına göre daha yüksek oranda medyadan ulaşması olup toplumun daha doğru kaynaklardan bilgilendirilmesi için tedbir alınması konusunda uyarıcı olmasıdır.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: While the epidemic of "Coronavirus Disease 19" continues as a pandemic all over the world, Pandemic vaccine practices in our country started on January 14, 2021. This study was aimed to evaluate the demographic characteristics, risky contact histories before vaccination, and the opinions of the people who received the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in the COVID-19 vaccine polyclinic of Afyonkarahisar University of Health Sciences about the pandemic vaccinations.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the period, when pandemic vaccine practices first started, a questionnaire consisting of 17 questions was administered to people who received the first dose of the pandemic vaccine through face-to-face interviews. Health workers were classified as group A and the other participants as group B, and the reasons for wanting to be vaccinated, their exposure to the pandemic, and other responses of these two groups were compared.
RESULTS: During the study period, 3159 persons were vaccinated. 1682 (53%) of them were health workers, and the remaining 1477 (47%) were considered to be group B. It was observed that group A obtained significantly more information from scientific publications, and group B from the media. When the reasons for vaccination are questioned, the rate of those vaccinated because of fear of infecting their relatives, believing in the effectiveness and protection of the vaccine, getting rid of the restrictions, and returning to daily life was found to be significantly higher in group A than in group B.
CONCLUSIONS: The most important result of this study is that people who are at risk of having severe disease access vaccination information from the media at a higher rate than healthcare professionals, and it warns the public to take precautions to inform them from more accurate sources.
