Keywords:
Immunization, Health Education, Community-Based Intervention, Mother, AcehAbstract
Basic immunization coverage in Indonesia still faces significant challenges due to mothers’ limited knowledge, concerns about potential side effects, and doubts regarding the halal status of vaccines. To address these barriers, the GEMBIRA program (Gerakan Imunisasi Bersama Ibu Ceria) was implemented as a community-based intervention in Lamteh Village, Peukan Bada District, Aceh Province. This activity aimed to enhance mothers’ knowledge and motivation through health education delivered in an interactive and cheerful manner. The program was conducted on July 23, 2025, at the Balai Ikrar Lamteh, involving 15 mothers of children under five. The activities included coordination with village health cadres, presentation of educational materials using posters and videos, group discussions, role-playing sessions, and a simple quiz as an evaluation tool.
