dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: Adulthood vaccination has not reached adequate levels, both in Turkey and around the world. The aim of this study was to identify the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of vaccination in those aged 18 years. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study. Questionnaires were applied to 686 participants attending Family Health Centers. For the analysis of data, the statistical significance used was p<0.05. RESULTS: Notably, 72.4% of people had at least one vaccination in adulthood. The most frequent vaccinations were tetanus (55.1%), influenza (26.8%), and hepatitis B (8.2%). PATH analysis found that the effect of variables with direct effects on vaccination (apart from the situation of thinking that vaccinations are necessary in adulthood) disappeared in the model in which adult vaccine recommendations were used as mediators. CONCLUSION: The adult vaccination situation is inadequate. It is necessary to inform society about adult vaccinations and recommend vaccination. Tools such as information given during health services and implementations such as social education and brochures, posters, media, and public information spots may be used with this aim. © 2025 Associacao Medica Brasileira.
