Abstract

Introduction: mass vaccination against COVID-19 begun in February 2021. As of February17 2022, 75’732.846 doses had been administered nationwide. Peak vaccination rates were achieved on August 6 2021 when 594.933 doses were administered. Objective: to show the SARS-COV-2 vaccination plan behavior in the period between February 17 2021 and February 17 2022. Methodology: a cross-sectional study was conducted. Data was obtained from the Ministry of Health and Social Protection website, based on the national COVID-19 vaccination plan reports. Results: the highest number of doses (10’117.202) was administered in November 2021, the highest number of second doses (3’469.508) was administered in June, the highest number of single doses (2’322.994), as well as the highest number of doses which completed primary vaccination courses (5’282.778) were applied in July, and the highest number of booster doses (2’390.185). was applied in January 2022. Conclusion: vaccination process follow-up, to understand vaccine effectiveness, likelihood of immune response decrease over time and possible adverse effects, is crucial.  Tracking virus mutations detected in the country, affecting vaccine-induced immunity, is also essential.
