The aim of this study was to gather information on demographic and health indicators, primarily vaccination status, of Syrians under temporary protection in five provinces of Turkey and to develop infrastructure for vaccination planning.
The population under study consists of 89,986 Syrian children, 0-4 years of age, residing in Ankara, Mersin, Gaziantep, Izmir, and Bursa. Initially, we planned to evaluate 2,339 children, although a total of 2,827 children were evaluated by the end of the study.
Of these children, 74% were born in Turkey, while 20% were born in Syria. In addition, 22.4% (n = 634) of the children were never vaccinated, and of these, 67.0% (n = 425) were born in Turkey. In other words, one in five Syrian children born in Turkey (20.3%) had never been vaccinated. Of the Syrian children under temporary protection, the missing vaccinations were as follows: hepatitis B (54.7%); Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (62.5%); five-component combined vaccine (64.6%); conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (58.0%); oral polio vaccine (70.8%); measles, mumps, and rubella (76.6%); varicella (66.8%); and hepatitis A vaccine (76.0%).
It is important to increase the immunization rates of Syrian children under temporary protection and establish regular vaccination procedures.
本研究旨在收集土耳其五个省份中处于临时保护下的叙利亚人的人口统计学和健康指标信息，主要是疫苗接种状况，并为疫苗接种规划建立基础设施。
研究人群包括居住在安卡拉、梅尔辛、加济安泰普、伊兹密尔和布尔萨的89986名0至4岁的叙利亚儿童。最初，我们计划评估2339名儿童，不过到研究结束时共评估了2827名儿童。
这些儿童中，74%在土耳其出生，20%在叙利亚出生。此外，22.4%（n = 634）的儿童从未接种过疫苗，其中67.0%（n = 425）在土耳其出生。换句话说，在土耳其出生的叙利亚儿童中有五分之一（20.3%）从未接种过疫苗。在处于临时保护下的叙利亚儿童中，未接种的疫苗情况如下：乙型肝炎疫苗（54.7%）；卡介苗（62.5%）；五联疫苗（64.6%）；结合型肺炎球菌疫苗（58.0%）；口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗（70.8%）；麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹疫苗（76.6%）；水痘疫苗（66.8%）；甲型肝炎疫苗（76.0%）。
提高处于临时保护下的叙利亚儿童的免疫接种率并建立常规疫苗接种程序非常重要。
