Keywords:

The problem of incomplete basic immunization coverage among toddlers remains a public health challenge in several regions, including Cot Karieng Village. One of the main contributing factors is the low level of knowledge among mothers regarding the importance, benefits, and schedule of complete basic immunization. Insufficient knowledge can lead to delays or refusal of immunization, increasing the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases in children. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of mothers of toddlers through a community-based educational intervention on complete basic immunization. The intervention was conducted using interactive lectures, group discussions, and participatory educational methods involving Posyandu cadres and village stakeholders. The activity took place in Cot Karieng Village and involved mothers who had toddlers as participants. The results showed an increase in mothers’ understanding of complete basic immunization, including immunization schedules, benefits, and the risks of incomplete immunization. Participants demonstrated active involvement and were able to correctly restate the information provided after the intervention. This activity is expected to contribute to improving mothers’ knowledge and to support sustainable efforts to increase complete basic immunization coverage in Cot Karieng Village.
