Abstract :Introduction: This study was aimed to define the demographic structure of vaccinated patients admitted to the emergency room insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ER); with COVID-19 symptoms, and their hospitalization status, length of stay insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LoS); in hospital, and mortality status. Material and Method: This research is a retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study. Furthermore, it includes the period between 15.01.2021 and 30.04.2021. Results: An 887 COVID-19 vaccinated patients who applied to ER. Of these, 383 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(42.2%); were male, and 504 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(56.8%); were female. The mean age of the patients was 52±18.6 years. The number of single-dose vaccinated patients was 696 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(78.5%);, and the two-dose vaccinated was 191 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(21.5%);. CoronaVac insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sinovac Life Sciences); vaccine was applied to 755 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(85.1%);, and BNT162b2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Pfizer & Biontech); vaccine was applied to 132 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.9%); patients before. In 317 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(35.7%); cases, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Rt-PCR); positivity was detected in the ER application after vaccination. Of the total patients, 86 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.7%); were hospitalized, 14 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.4%); patients died in the hospital. The mean time between vaccination and application to ER was 25 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(±21.9); days. Also, this period was 28.1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(±18); days in two-dose vaccinated patients. Conclusion: People who are vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine continue to have hospital admissions with COVID-19 symptoms. Rt-PCR positivity, need for hospitalization, and mortality may continue to be seen in vaccinated individuals.
