<![CDATA[Low community trust in complete basic immunization remains a challenge due to limited knowledge, misinformation, and concerns about vaccine safety. This program aimed to improve community knowledge and attitudes toward complete basic immunization to reduce the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases. The intervention was conducted through health education and consultation in three stages: preparation (needs assessment and development of educational materials), implementation (interactive counseling, group discussions, individual consultations, and immunization promotion), and evaluation using pre-test and post-test assessments. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the average knowledge score, increasing from 58.4% to 82.1% (41% increase). In addition, hesitant and refusal attitudes toward immunization decreased from 57% to 20%. These findings indicate that the program effectively enhanced community understanding of the importance of completing basic immunization for infants and toddlers, contributing to greater acceptance of immunization and supporting efforts to prevent vaccine-preventable diseases.]]>
