  DPT-HB-Hib immunization often causes side effects or Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI); therefore, mothers need to be informed about these effects to prevent anxiety stemming from a lack of knowledge. This study aimed to analyze the impact of education using leaflets regarding DPT-HB-Hib AEFI on mothers' knowledge levels. A pre-experimental, one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed. The study was conducted on June 21–22, 2026, at the Qurratu Akyun Independent Midwifery Practice (TPMB) in Jombang. Education served as the independent variable, while knowledge was the dependent variable. The study involved a population of 30 participants selected via total sampling. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Pre-test results showed that 6 participants (20%) possessed a good level of knowledge, whereas post-test results showed that 19 participants (63.3%) had a good level of knowledge. The Wilcoxon statistical test yielded a p-value of 0.001.
