Aim: The COVID 19 outbreak continues today with significant morbidity and mortality. Healthcare workers have the
highest risk in this epidemic. Therefore, vaccination was first started from healthcare workers. In this study, we aimed to
examine the antibody levels of healthcare workers after vaccination.
Material and Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total of 102 healthcare workers who were given CoronaVac vaccine
and whose antibody levels were checked after vaccination were included in the study.
Results: The seventy seven (75.5%) of the cases were male, 25 (24.5%) were female, the mean age was 43.25 ± 9.97. 8
(7.8%) of the cases had previously had COVID-19. The mean antibody level was 1768.02 ± 3586.09. Antibody mean in
women was 2127.9 ± 4716.1; it was 1651.2 ± 3163.8 in men. No statistical difference was found between age and gender
and antibody level (Respectively; p=0.564, p=0.596).
Conclusion: Post-vaccination antibody development was good among healthcare workers. All of the healthcare workers
who had COVID-19 had an antibody response. There were only 3 individuals who did not develop antibody response.
Endocrinologic examinations encounter hyperprolactinemia, which is the release of prolactin hormone in excess of normal amounts, more frequently than any other pathological condition. In this case , we present a case of it is explained that a 42-year-old male patient can be diagnosed with prolactinoma by deepening the anamnesis without specifics symptoms. It is aimed to raise awareness on this issue.
