The respondents were 62 mothers who visited the Blang Mangat Community Health Center, Blang Mangat District, Lhokseumawe City using the Accidental Sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi Square Test and Fisher's Exact Test at α = 5%. The results showed that the factors age (p=0.306), occupation (p=0.116), income (p=1,000) and information from electronic media (p=0.515) had no relationship with measles immunization. Meanwhile, factors related to measles immunization were education (p=0.043) and information from health workers (p=0.018). It is recommended that: 1) The public provide complete immunization for children to avoid infectious diseases, especially measles. 2) Community leaders and religious leaders (Ustadz) are expected to convey to the public to provide support and information about measles immunization. 3) At the Blang Mangat Community Health Center, efforts need to be made to provide effective and continuous information such as health education, distributing posters, distributing leaflets and putting up banners about measles immunization.

Responden adalah ibu-ibu yang berkunjung ke Puskesmas Blang Mangat Kecamatan Blang Mangat Kota Lhokseumawe sebanyak 62 orang dengan teknik Accidental Sampling. Pengumpulan data dengan menggunakan kuesioner dan dianalisis menggunakan Uji Chi Square dan Uji Exact Fisher pada α =5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor umur (p=0,306), pekerjaan (p=0,116), penghasilan (p=1,000) dan informasi dari media elektronik (p=0,515) tidak ada hubungan dengan pemberian imunisasi campak. Sedangkan faktor yang berhubungan dengan pemberian imunisasi campak adalah pendidikan (p=0,043) dan informasi dari petugas kesehatan (p=0,018).
