ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Immune levels were observed by giving vitamin D supplements to vitamin D deficient women who received the COVID-19 vaccine. METHODS: In the research, there were volunteer women who had received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine who participated for a mean of more than 65 days. Group D (n=14 Pfizer-BioNTech, 2 Sinovac) received 150,000 IU of vitamin D supplementation, but group C (n=14 Pfizer-BioNTech), 3 Sinovac) no support was provided. RESULTS: When the consumption of vitamin D ends (D group), serum 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D levels were found to increase regularly in the (W3) last measurements (p=0.001). There was no significant difference in immunoglobulin M levels between groups D and C (Control group) (p=0.063). It was observed that the immunoglobulin G levels reached the peak level between the W1 and W2 measurements of the D group (P<0.001) and there were significant differences between the three sizes. Also, no correlation was found between the D group's initial serum immunoglobulin G and 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D levels. However, when the final measurements were examined, a significant positive correlation was found between immunoglobulin G and 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D levels (r=0.558, p=0.031). CONCLUSION: It was determined that serum IgG levels increased significantly depending on the duration between those who used vitamin D and those who did not and it was above the initial level for a long time. A positive and significant relationship was found between the last measured immunoglobulin G and 25(OH) D levels while vitamin D supplementation continued.
