<![CDATA[High infant mortality rates are a major health problem worldwide, especially in developing countries. To protect people from serious and infectious diseases, immunization is the most affordable and effective way to prevent primary infection. The more mothers know about how to provide their children with complete basic vaccinations, the greater their awareness of it. Parents can choose to provide their children with complete basic immunizations through their perceptions. The purpose of this study was to determine mothers' knowledge and perceptions about their babies' compliance with basic immunizations. This study was designed as a cross-sectional study. This study involved 91 respondents, and data collection was obtained using purposive sampling. The results showed that the best respondents in the good category had knowledge of basic immunizations, as many as 52 respondents (57.1%), the best respondents in the positive category had knowledge of basic immunizations, as many as 76 respondents (83.5%), and the best in compliance with basic immunizations were 78 respondents (85.3%). There is a correlation between the level of knowledge about basic immunization and compliance to provide basic immunization to infants in the working area of the Wairoro Community Health Center, South Weda District with a p value of 0.000.
