Headline: 65 years old and older persons with discharge programmes and nursing Summary: If the population in our country is considered to age every day, the health protection services related to the elderly need to be planned. Protecting the health of the elderly is a preventive health care. With ageing, the impairment of the immune system due to chronic diseases, comorbidity, fragility, malnutrition and consequently increases the likelihood to many infectious diseases. In recent years, making adult vaccines has contributed to a better quality of life by preventing infectious diseases and related complications during ageing and reducing morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases. Vaccination, which is an important part of protective health services, can significantly prevent diseases and deaths. In our country, vaccines are mostly made in childhood, adult vaccines are ignored and adult vaccines are not given the necessary attention. The active role of nurses in immunity services positively affects the health of patients. Nurses should emphasize the importance of the vaccines to be taken in this age group in each meeting with individuals aged 65 and older, while individuals with chronic illness and risky conditions should be directed to vaccination under medical advice. The main diseases that can affect the population of sixteen and over and can be prevented by vaccination are influenza (influenza), pneumoccal diseases (pneumonia, menenjitis, sepsis), tetanus and zona zoster. It is recommended that all persons aged 65 and over receive a seasonal flu vaccine once a year, as well as a pneumococcus and zona vaccine, and a tetanus vaccine raped once a year.  It is especially important that nurses who work in family health centers inform the elderly individuals in the community about immunity, as well as in children and in individuals over the age of 65 to create and follow vaccine cards and to increase adult vaccination rates. In order to increase the rates of vaccination of elderly patients, it is necessary to promote vaccines by effectively using written and visual media as well as social media, highlighting their importance and increasing awareness. If the population is thought to be aging every day in our country, protection services related to elderly health should be planned. Vaccination is the most important preventive health service for the protection of the elderly. Together with aging, the immune system is suppressed and accordingly, the susceptibility to many infectious diseases is increasing due to comorbidity, frailty, malnutrition. In recent years, adult vaccines have contributed toining a better quality of life and reducing morbidity and mortality due to infectious diseases by preventing infectious diseases and related complications in the aging process. Vaccination, which is an important part of preventive health services, can significantly prevent diseases and deaths. In our country, vaccinations are mostly carried out in childhood, adult vaccinations are neglected, and adult vaccination is not given importance to elderly adults. Nurses should emphasize the importance of vaccinations to be done in this age group in any encounter with the age of 65 and above, and direct the individuals with chronic diseases and risk situations to vaccination in doctor counseling. Influenza (influenza), pneumococcal diseases (pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis), tetanus and zona zoster are leading diseases that can affect the population over 65 years of age and can be prevented by vaccination. It is recommended that all individuals over 65 years of age and over have seasonal influenza vaccine once a year, as well as pneumoccal and zona vaccination, and tetanus vaccination every 10 years. In particular, it is important that creation and follow-up of vaccination cards in individuals over 65 years of age like in children, nurses working in family health centers inform older people in society about immunization. In order to increase the vaccination rates of elderly patients, it is necessary to raise awareness by emphasizing the importance of promoting vaccines using social media as well as written and visual media.
