ADULT VACCINES
The need for vaccination in adults arises due to newly emerging diseases, increased travel to different countries, or vaccines that are missing during childhood itself. The adult-age vaccines partially covered by the SGK / Turkish Ministry of Health are as follows:
Adult-type Tetanus Vaccine:
All individuals who have never been vaccinated are given an extended dose of adult-type diphtheria-tetanus (Td) vaccine, and then repeated every ten years. It is recommended that this vaccine, which is repeated every ten years, should be a Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine.
Women of Childbearing Age/Pregnant Vaccine:
These vaccinations vary and should be applied to the family health center for administration (diphtheria-tetanus and flu vaccines). The application is free of charge.
Measles Rubella Mumps (KKK) Vaccine:
Vaccination is unnecessary if there is a record that an individual has been given or has had two doses of measles vaccine (for those born after the 1980s) or KKK vaccine (for those born after 2006), or if antibodies can be detected in blood tests. In addition, all adult individuals, except those who are pregnant, should be vaccinated against NCD twice a month. All individuals who have not received the NCC vaccine can get two doses of the vaccine free of charge at family health centers.
Pneumococcal Vaccine:
Recommended for individuals aged 65 and older if they do not have any disease. There are two types of vaccines to protect against the effects of infections caused by pneumococcal bacteria. Conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) is administered free of charge in health institutions, while polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (PPSV23) is administered to the relevant risk groups in exchange for a prescription. “A single dose of PCV13 first, PPSV23 after at least one year and PPSV23 repeat after 5 years” by EKMUD (Turkish Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Specialty Association). It is recommended that the third repeat of PPSV23 be performed at the age of 65 and later”. If they have an immunosuppressive disease, vaccination is recommended for these people at an earlier age. It is recommended to consult your doctor about this issue.
Flu Vaccine:
It can be prescribed once a year for individuals aged sixty-five and older if they document their stay in a nursing home or nursing home, or for those who are even younger and have chronic diseases. According to EKMUD, adults should get this vaccine every year (except for the first three months of pregnancy). It is recommended to consult your doctor about this issue.
Hepatitis Vaccinations:
According to EKMUD, hepatitis A and B vaccines are recommended for everyone who cannot show antibodies in blood tests. The Ministry of Health, on the other hand, does it free of charge to the risk groups it identifies.
The following vaccines are those that are not included in the vaccination program of the Ministry of Health and are recommended by EKMUD:
Zoster Vaccine:
It is recommended that the vaccine for the Herpes Zoster virus, which causes shingles, be given once by EKMUD from the age of 60.
Chickenpox Vaccine:
If the individual has not had this disease, EKMUD recommends that it be given as two doses one month throughout his adult age.
Meningococcal Vaccine:
According to EKMUD, if it was not given in childhood, a single dose of the vaccine can be given during adulthood.
Hemophilus Influenza b Vaccine:
According to EKMUD, if it was not given in childhood, it is recommended to be given as three doses one month throughout adulthood.
HPV Vaccine:
According to EKMUD, it is recommended to get three doses of the vaccine (0, 1-2, 6 months) until the age of 26.
While the vaccines administered within the framework of the National Vaccination Program of the Ministry of Health in Turkey are offered free of charge in accordance with the indications, the additional vaccines recommended by EKMUD should be covered by individuals. But if attention is paid to the fact that vaccines can be useful for the vaccinated person, as well as other unvaccinated individuals in society, it is extremely important that the vaccine is offered to everyone who is eligible.
