Abstract :SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, when the first case was seen in Turkey. Since this date, there have been significant changes in the organization of the health system and the health behavior of the society. Particularly, the compliance of the elderly from risky groups to vaccination and pandemic measures has been at a high level. Advanced age has been reported as an important risk factor for mortality and poor outcome in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients in the literature.
