Naci

Naci, often seen as an acronym written NACI, is a term with several unrelated uses depending on the context. The most prominent current use is in public health, where NACI stands for the National Advisory Committee on Immunization in Canada. This federal body operates under the Public Health Agency of Canada and provides evidence-based vaccine recommendations for the general population and for priority groups. Its guidance informs national immunization policies and is used by federal, provincial, and territorial health authorities, healthcare providers, and researchers. NACI statements address vaccine safety, effectiveness, scheduling, and eligibility, and are updated as new data become available.

As a given name, Naci is a Turkish masculine name, sometimes transliterated as Nâci. It has historical usage in Turkish-speaking regions, including the Ottoman era, and remains in use in modern Turkey. Notable bearers of the name vary across history and locale, reflecting the name’s cultural heritage.

In other contexts, NACI is used as an acronym by various organizations around the world, sometimes standing for national bodies related to health, identity, culture, or administration. Because the acronym is not unique to a single entity, its precise meaning depends on the country and organization involved.
