Aim: In our country, children are routinely vaccinated against 13 diseases, free of charge, with a total of 18 doses between the ages of 0-2. In this study, New Type CoronaVirus Disease (COVID-19) is targeted to identify the outbreak's impact on vaccination rates in Turkey.
Method: Our study is a simple descriptive cross-sectional study. The data of the study were evaluated retrospectively. The units who agreed to participate and share data were listed, and one of every ten units was selected randomly, and the data of eleven family Medicine Units were included in the study.
Results: The decrease in the number of outpatient clinics in April 2020 was statistically significant. Vaccination rates decreased slightly in March and April but no statistically significant difference was found.
Conclusion: In order to maintain the vaccination rates not to decrease even in pandemic cases detected in our study, especially primary health care workers will continue to work with devotion.
