Abstract :Purpose: The COVID-19 epidemic has affected the entire world. This article aims to investigate the relationship between daily COVID-19 cases, deaths and recoveries, and daily COVID-19 vaccines in Turkey, and the effectiveness of vaccine studies. Materials and Methods: Based on the data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey, this study aims to investigate the relationship between vaccine doses and COVID-19 cases, deaths, and recoveries. The analysis covers the period from January 13, 2021, when the first dose of the vaccine was administered, to May 31, 2022, the most recent date for which daily data is available. The data were obtained from the Turkey COVID-19 Pandemic Monitoring Screen (TURCOVID19) platform, with a total of 504 days of data being analyzed. Results: The daily number of first-dose vaccinations was 1,458,245, and the daily number of second-dose vaccinations was 912,226, with high values observed for both the first and second doses. During periods of high vaccination rates, a decrease in daily death counts and an increase in daily recovery rates were observed. The number of recovered cases reached its peak after the administration of the third and fourth doses of the vaccine. It was also observed that the number of individuals infected after receiving two doses of the vaccine was significantly lower compared to the number of infected individuals who were unvaccinated. Conclusion: The results obtained from various studies conducted worldwide and in Turkey consistently demonstrate the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in reducing the disease burden.
