THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY CAN FINISH VACCINATION BEFORE EUROPE
Dean Of Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Istanbul, Turkey Prof. Dr. said that Turkey is one of the countries with the best Covid vaccination system in the world and said: “As long as the Covid vaccines come. Our infrastructure and experience in this regard is very good. We can end covid-19 vaccination in Turkey of the entire population before even European countries,” he said.
Although the number of cases has begun to decline significantly with restrictions imposed in Turkey, which is fighting the second wave of the corona virus epidemic, experts say that these numbers are not yet enough to loosen the restrictions.
At Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Hospital in Turkey, one of the largest Covid pandemic centers in Istanbul of medicals hospitals, PCR Covid positivity rates have fallen from 20 percent to 5 percent, said Prof. Dr. “In the last 10 days, we have observed a very significant decrease in the number of Covid cases. At this second peak, we conducted about 2 thousand PCR tests daily in our center, and the positivity rate was above 20 percent. Currently, an average of 350-400 applications are made to our first Covid outpatient clinic, and the rate of positivity in Tests has also fallen to 5 percent. In both cases, there is a significant decrease in the rate of positivity in Tests. But the number of newly identified cases is still higher than the number of recovered cases. For him, I believe that these measures should be continued for some time,” he said.

AS LONG AS THE VACCINES COME TO TURKEY
The Covid-19 Turkey professor who stated that the return to the old one can only be possible with the start of vaccinations Dr. emphasized that Turkey is a very experienced country in the field of vaccination and said, “As long as the vaccines come. The Turkish Ministry of Health authorized all family physicians, public health teams, private, public, university hospitals to Covid-19 vaccinate in Turkey. And we’re making our preparations accordingly. After the Covid vaccines come to Turkey, we can successfully finish this process across Turkey in less time than even European countries,” he said.
As in the case of Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Hospital throughout Turkey, Covid-19 vaccinations will be started primarily from health workers. A professor who stated that they are about to complete their preparations for this Dr., gave the following information: “we had about 4 thousand vaccine requests for our employees. We are conducting studies under the Coordination of the Department of Infectious Diseases. We will also classify our employees as high, medium and low risk groups and take turns to vaccinate them. First, we will vaccinate all our staff, such as doctors, auxiliary medical staff, nurses, cleaning staff working in the high-risk group, i.e. intensive care units, emergency departments and Covid services. Then we’ll Covid-19 vaccinate those who work in non-Covid in Turkey 2020-2021-2022 services, and then those who work in more background, such as basic science.”
Corona virus vaccine appointments started to be given via MHRS corona virus vaccine appointments started to be given via MHRS 2021.

5 VACCINE OUTPATIENT CLINICS CAN VACCINATE 500-1000 CITIZENS PER DAY
A professor who explained that they are a large hospital that will also serve the region in the vaccination of citizens after health workers Dr., for this, they will open 5 vaccine outpatient clinics and during working hours, they can work in a capacity that can Covid-19 vaccinate an average of 500 to 1.000 people daily, he said.
Professor Doctor in Turkey continued his words as follows:
“Of course, after Covid-19-vaccine, the patient will not be sent immediately. It will be held for at least 10-15 minutes. He will be kept under observation for conditions such as whether he has immediate complications, allergies. Vaccination is the only way to deal with this epidemic. We have had many losses, 120 thousand health workers were caught in Covid, we have lost 363 health workers. We have been living every day since March 2020, what dramas it has led to, what lives it has darkened. Drugs can also have a side effect of one in a million, but I think it’s extremely wrong to confuse people about the 2021 Covid-19 vaccine by highlighting the side effect of one in a million here.”
.
EVEN IF THE ENTIRE POPULATION IS VACCINATED
Citizens should not be concerned about the safety of the vaccine, and when it is their turn, they should have their vaccine with peace of mind. Dr. “Even if the entire population is vaccinated, we will need 8-10 months for herd immunity to form. At this time 2021, we have to continue to follow the rules of mask, distance and hygiene,” he said.
.
WE NEED TO BE PROTECTED FOR ANOTHER 8-10 MONTHS
A professor who stressed that all of the vaccines that began to be made with the approval of emergency use in the world, including the inactive vaccine that will be applied in Turkey, have completed Phase 3 studies Dr. said, ” when we look at the early results in Turkey, 92 percent of the protection of the inactive vaccine is in question. The World Health Organization considers vaccines successful if they have an impact of more than 50 percent. Despite being vaccinated, those who have the disease also experience the disease with very mild symptoms. This pleasing. In any case, the goal is to pass this disease lightly. The vaccine is extremely effective in this regard. I think education can’t be delayed. The start of his educational life will also be with successful vaccinations. The Department of Health is actually 5. and 6. the class included medical school students. But we, 4. we also want classes to be included in the vaccine, especially in the first step, and they will continue their internships,” he said.

WE LOOKED AT 70 THOUSAND OF HALF A MILLION PATIENTS BECAUSE OF COVID-19
About 580 thousand patients have been cared for at Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Hospital since March, and only 68 thousand of them are covid patients in Turkey. Dr. said that many non-urgent operations or patient follow-up were disrupted in this process, but with the drop of cases, they began to return to the old routine, and he concluded his words: “Cerrahpaşa Medical School was looking at about 4-5 thousand patients daily from all over Turkey before the outbreak. With the pandemic, these processes have been very disrupted. But gradually we began to return to our old routine, which is no longer urgent operations, foreigner patient care in outpatient clinics at Antalya Turkey.”
