It was aimed to determine the beliefs and opinions of the people participating in our research about vaccination and to assess whether the COVID-19 pandemic process affected their belief and opinion about vaccination, and if so, in which direction. This descriptive cross-sectional study conducted a Family Health Centre in Kütahya. In this study, a questionnaire form were used to determine opinions about vaccination practices. Of the 377 people participants, 184 (48.8%) were male and 193 (51.2%) were female. While 313 (83%) of the participants were positive, 10 (2.7%) had negative opinions about vaccines and 54 (14.3%) were undecided. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the opinion of 27.3% (n:103) of the participants about vaccination has changed compared to before. It was found that 64 (63.1%) of 103 people who had a change in their opinion of vaccination had a positive change. According to our work, the risks posed by the pandemic have caused positive changes in overall vaccination opinion of the participants. Cette étude descriptive transversale, menée dans un centre de santé familiale de Kütahya, visait à déterminer les croyances et opinions des participants concernant la vaccination et à évaluer si la pandémie de COVID-19 les avait influencées, et le cas échéant, dans quel sens. Un questionnaire a permis de recueillir les opinions sur les pratiques vaccinales. Parmi les 377 participants, 184 (48,8 %) étaient des hommes et 193 (51,2 %) des femmes. 313 participants (83 %) avaient une opinion positive, 10 (2,7 %) une opinion négative et 54 (14,3 %) étaient indécis. Après le début de la pandémie, l'opinion de 27,3 % des participants (n = 103) a évolué. Parmi ces 103 personnes, 64 (63,1 %) ont vu leur opinion évoluer positivement. D’après nos travaux, les risques liés à la pandémie ont induit une évolution positive de l’opinion générale des participants concernant la vaccination.
