Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the mid- and long-term health effects of the COVID-19 virus and the COVID-19 vaccine on individuals after the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: The research was conducted with young adults studying at a university in Turkey. A total of 468 individuals between the ages of 18-40, without any chronic illnesses, and willing to participate in the study were included. Research data were collected through a questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using SPSS (25th version). Results: The average age of the participants was 21.00 ± 2.74 years, 63.5% were male, and 100% had no chronic illnesses before the COVID-19 pandemic. All participants (100%) received the COVID-19 vaccine, with 68.6% preferring the BioNTech vaccine. Of the participants, 28.4% had experienced COVID-19, and 2.6% reported ongoing side effects related to the vaccine. After the COVID-19 pandemic, 1.7% of participants experienced hypertension, 2.2% had conditions related to diabetes, and 1.9% reported persistent cough. Conclusion: The data obtained from the study suggest the occurrence of different health problems related to the COVID-19 virus and vaccination among participants. It is concluded that these effects may be associated with COVID-19, and further data are needed for the assessment of effects related to COVID-19 vaccines.
