The results showed that bivariately there was a significant influence between attitude (OR = 2.128; P = 0.017), perceived behavioral control (OR = 2.577; P = 0.003), and intention (OR = 2.652; P = 0.002) on the type of immunization. However, subjective norms had no effect (OR = 1.706; P = 0.094). Multivariately, the intention variable became dominant with OR 2.241 and P = 0.019, indicating that respondents with bad intentions were twice as likely to not receive complete immunization.
