The data of 572 staff who did not experience admission to employment-quit job mobility were evaluated in the study. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used in the analysis of the data.

It was conducted that 9% of the participants had a chronic disease, and 3% were hospitalized due to COVID-19. It was determined that the pre-vaccination PCR positivity rate of hospital staff was 19%, and the post-vaccination PCR positivity rate of staff who had COVID-19 vaccine was lower than those who did not. In the study, a statistically significant difference was found between vaccination status and post-vaccine PCR positivity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Conclusion: It is important to make arrangements for the vaccination of hospital staff in the high-risk group in terms of transmission during the pandemic.
