Within the scope of the vaccination program carried out within the scope of the fight against the new type of coronavirus (Covid-19), the second dose of CoronaVac vaccine was started to be administered to the residents and staff of disabled and elderly care institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Services.

Within the scope of the vaccination program, elderly residents and employees of Seyranbağlar Nursing Home Aged Care and Rehabilitation Center also received second doses of vaccines.

In the nursing home, where many measures have been applied against Covid-19 for a long time, from the ban on visitors to the "fixed shift" working system, vaccination studies are carried out in the vaccination room after the temperature measurements of the individuals are carried out in accordance with the rules of mask, distance and hygiene.

Within the framework of the measures determined by the Ministry of Health, vaccines delivered to organizations by protecting the cold chain are made by nurses under the supervision of doctors.

"During Seniors Week, We Hope Our Elders Will Meet Their Loved Ones"

 Uzm. Dr. Orhan KOÇ, General Manager of Disability and Elderly Services, reminded after vaccination that the fight against covid-19 epidemic in Turkey has been going on for about a year and that measures have been taken without incident in the country.

Stating that the measures continued to be increased after the first case was seen in Turkey, KOÇ stated that disabled and elderly services personnel worked with great dedication in this process.

Koç emphasized that the elderly who stay in nursing homes despite not being able to meet their loved ones continue the process with great dedication and reminded that the elderly and disabled are given priority in vaccination and the first dose vaccines are given.

Stating that all personnel in the disabled and elderly services were also vaccinated, KOÇ said: "There have been no problems since vaccination. Our processes for the first vaccination have been completed.

87,000 disabled people, elderly people and service personnel were vaccinated. Today, we're getting a second overdose. Our elderly people in all nursing homes, disabled people staying in disability care centers and all of our staff serving them will be vaccinated. Hopefully, after our second vaccine, there will be a process of forming antibodies related to 15-20 days of immunization. After that, during The Seniors Week of March 18-24, we hope that after consultations with our Scientific Council members, our elders will meet with their loved ones this year. We would like to give the good news that our elders can meet their loved ones with the Scientific Council. I would like to state that it is close for our elderly to reach healthy, healthy days."
