Immunization Center Introduction

Currently our Immunization Polyclinic which serves under our departments polyclinic services, serves effectively to the vaccinization of health care providers, monitoring of diseases avoidable by immunization and conducting of vaccination programs in relation to the services of the Infection Control Committee. But since the level of adult immunization  is not at the desired levels both in our country and in the world, undesired results can be seen regarding illnesses which can be avoided with vaccination.

For this reason, an immunization center which can conduct its duties with standardized manuals and forms has been established with the suggestions of respected committees on the subject and worldwide data.

The purpose of this center is to give the applicants a reliable rapid service.

Here are the services provided in this center :

• The scanning of hospital personnele for infective diseases and immunization practices if necessary before or after contact (still performed)

• Rabies prophylaxis before and after contact (still performed)

• Tuberculin skin test (still performed)

• Chronical Hepatitis B and C patient relatives’ evaluation and immunization programming

• The appropriate planning of vaccination and monitoring for special patient groups (elderly, pregnant, organ receivers, cancer, diabetes, dialysis, chronic liver patients,…)

• Programming of immunization required for visa applications for individuals travelling abroad and preparing their vaccination history documents

• Immunization before journeys, malaria prophylaxis and medical suggestion
