Although these practices have turned the direction of daily case and mortality figures into negative, it cannot be said that a clear goal has been achieved at the desired level. In addition, vaccination studies, which started within the framework of the epidemic, have remarkably affected the society's attitude towards the epidemic.

Introduction
The Covid-19 disease, which has an increasing negative impact on the world day by day and has been declared to be in the pandemic category by the WHO (World Health Organization), was first reported in Wuhan, China's Hubei province, in December 2019, in Huanan Seafood and Livestock Wholesale, which is described as a live animal market. It is thought to have emerged from the market (Huanan Seafood and Live Animal Market) (Tesini, 2020;Üstün et. al., 2020). This disease-causing viral agent was quickly identified as a human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, and its clinical picture was named the coronavirus disease COVID-19. It has been suggested that the virus is of a zoonotic nature, and that it was transmitted to humans from possible hosts, bats and pangolin animals (Deng, 2020;Üstün et. al., 2020). It can be said that this epidemic, which is defined as a public health problem (Reimers et. al., 2020), has had an impact in the field of education in Turkey as in other countries of the world.
The first measures taken against the corona epidemic in Turkey are practices regarding cleaning, masks and distance. Essentially, "cleanliness, mask and distance (TMM)" appears as a discourse. Discourse is a framework of thinking and speaking that is formed through common assumptions and serves to shape people's understanding and actions about a certain subject (Giddens et. al., 2014;Yadigaroğlu, 2021). The production of a discourse requires being an expert in a certain field. In this context, TMM, although a discourse produced by medical experts, is a formula for combating the epidemic that the political power has adopted and implemented certain policies at this point. Although TMM reduced the rate of transmission, different measures were needed to protect and prevent the public against the epidemic. At this point, grafting emerges as the only technique needed. In this context, different vaccines against covid-19 have been produced in many countries (Akdeniz et. al., 2016;Kutlu et. al., 2018;Soysal, 2018;Yadigaroğlu, 2021). Different attitudes and behaviors regarding the administration of these vaccines are encountered in our country as well as in the world. For this reason, in this study, the Covid-19 pandemic and vaccination process in Turkey were evaluated in line with teacher perceptions.

Method

Merriam (2013) defines the case study as an in-depth description and examination of a limited system. On the other hand, according to Creswell (2007) case study; It is a qualitative research approach in which the researcher examines one or a few situations limited in time with data collection tools (observations, interviews, audio-visuals, documents, reports) that include multiple sources, and defines situations and themes depending on the situation.
