Basic immunization is immunization given to infants from the age of 0-9 months years old, including 1 dose of BCG, 3 doses of DPT, 3 doses of Hib, 4 doses of Polio, 4 doses of Hepatitis B, and 1 dose of Measles. Mothers who have low knowledge of basic immunization will form a negative attitude towards immunization services.

The samples in this study are 61 people and were chosen using the purposive sampling technique. To measure the level of knowledge, a questionnaire instrument developed from previous studies was used in this study. Data from the MCH handbook was used to determine the completeness of basic immunization. The Chi-Square test was utilized to identify the correlation between research variables. The results of this study obtained Mothers who have less knowledge are 18 people (29.5%), mothers who have sufficient knowledge are 28 people (45.9%) and mothers who have good knowledge are 15 people (24.6%). Infants who have complete basic immunization are 17 people (27,9%) and infants who have incomplete basic immunization are 44 people (72,1%).
