Abstract:

 Objectives: Adult immunization is important for community health and preventive medicine. Since adult immunization is not compulsory, as in childhood vaccinations, opportunity to vaccination should not be missed. For this reason, we think that Adult Vaccination Units are important in hospitals. With this study, it is aimed to contribute to the spread of these units by sharing our Adult Vaccination Unit experience within our hospital Materials and Methods: In this study, the vaccines made in the adult vaccination room of our hospital between 01.01.2021 and 31.12.2021 were evaluated. The first application of patients was analysed. The information of the patients was obtained from the vaccine registry and the data processing system, and the age, gender, referred unit to, the vaccine administered, and underlying diseases were recorded. It was checked from the data processing records of hospital whether the vaccinated people applied to the infectious diseases polyclinic with any complaints of side effects related to the vaccine within 1 week after the vaccination. Collected data are expressed as numbers and percentages. Results: In our unit, vaccination was applied to 1005 people within one year. The mean ages of vaccinated people were 37.6414.35 and 55.2 were male. The most frequent applied vaccine was hepatitis B vaccine 44.2, which was followed by tetanus vaccine 14.4, pneumococcal vaccine 11.9, meningococcal vaccine 11.4, hepatitis A vaccine 9.3 and Measles-Rubella-Rubeola vaccine 7.8. Conclusion: Importance of adult immunization increases due to the prolongation of life time and increased immunosuppressive treatments. Presence of vaccine units in hospitals where adult patients are followed due to their comorbidities, facilitates the meeting of these patients with the vaccine. Vaccination of more than a thousand people in a one-year period reveals the importance and functional potential of these units. For effective adult vaccinations, increase the adult vaccination units in the country is very important.

 Amaç: Erişkin bağışıklama toplum sağlığı ve koruyucu hekimlikte önemli bir yer tutar. Erişkin bağışıklamada çocukluk çağı aşılarında olduğu gibi zorunluluk olmaması nedeniyle, aşı uygulanabilecek hiçbir fırsatın kaçırılmaması gerekir. Bu nedenle hastanelerde Erişkin Aşılama Ünitelerinin önemli olduğunu düşünüyoruz. Bu çalışma ile hastanemiz bünyesinde hizmet veren Erişkin Aşılama Ünitesi deneyimimizi paylaşarak, bu ünitelerin yaygınlaşmasına katkıda bulunmak amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada 01.01.2021-31.12.2021 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz erişkin aşı odasında yapılmış olan aşılar değerlendirilmeye alınmıştır. Başvuran tüm hastaların ilk başvurusu analiz edilmiştir. Aşılama yapılan hastaların bilgilerine tutulan aşı kayıt defterinden ve bilgi işlem sistemi üzerinden ulaşılmış, hastalara ait yaş, cinsiyet, yönlendirildiği birim, uygulanan aşı, aşıya neden olan altta yatan durum bilgileri kaydedilmiştir. Aynı zamanda aşı uygulanan kişilerin aşılama sonrasında 1 hafta içinde aşıya bağlı herhangi bir yan etki şikayeti ile enfeksiyon hastalıkları polikliniğine başvurusu olup olmadığı hastanemiz bilgi işlem kayıtlarından kontrol edilmiştir. Toplanan veriler, sayı ve yüzde olarak ifade edilmiştir. Bulgular: Ünitemizde bir yıllık süre içerisinde 1005 kişiye aşı uygulanmıştır. Aşı yapılan kişilerin ortalama yaşları 37,6414,35 olup, 55,2si erkekti. Aşı ünitesinde en çok uygulanan aşı hepatit B aşısı 44,2 olup, bunu sırası ile tetanos aşısı 14,4, pnömokok aşısı 11,9, meningokok aşısı 11,4, hepatit A aşısı 9,3, ve Kızamık-Kızamıkçık-Kabakulak aşısı 7,8 izlemiştir. Sonuç: Yaşam süresinin uzaması, immünosüpresif tedavilerin artması nedeniyle erişkin bağışıklama giderek önem kazanmaktadır. Ek hastalıkları nedeniyle riskli erişkin hastaların, takip edildikleri merkezlerde aşı ünitelerinin olması, bu kişilerin aşıya ulaşımını kolaylaştırmaktadır. Bir yıllık sürede bini aşkın kişinin aşılanması, bu ünitelerin ne kadar önemli olduğunu ve işlevsel potansiyelini ortaya koymaktadır. Erişkin hastalara ulaşabilmek için ülke çapında Erişkin Aşılama Ünitelerinin artırılması önemlidir.
