- BioNTech (Germany–USA)

You can choose the vaccine you prefer depending on availability.
Is the COVID‑19 Vaccine Mandatory?
COVID‑19 vaccination is currently voluntary and there is no legal obligation to be vaccinated. Since the vaccines being used are in Phase‑3, there are no legal penalties for choosing not to be vaccinated.
Which COVID‑19 Vaccine Should I Get?
All vaccines currently used globally have reached Phase‑3, and studies on effectiveness continue. Both traditional and mRNA vaccine technologies are in use. Healthcare workers cannot advise you on which specific vaccine to receive. Health authorities generally recommend taking the first available vaccine.
What Happens If I Don’t Get Vaccinated?
There are no definitive data yet about the health consequences of not being vaccinated, so precise outcomes cannot be stated. Health authorities emphasize that getting the first available vaccine offers greater protection against COVID‑19.
Do Vaccines Have Side Effects?
The health facility where you receive the vaccine will provide information about possible side effects.
How Do I Find Out My Vaccination Priority?
You can check when it will be your turn for vaccination or whether you are eligible through the e‑Nabız system or by sending an SMS with the word “Aşıla” to 2023. To access e‑Nabız you must log in via the e‑Government system. People who cannot visit the hospital can be identified and offered mobile vaccination at home.
