Research objectives were set up to guide the study on research topic to gather information require by this study. In this research awareness is noticing or realising something exist or having knowing something. (Encarta Dictionary, 2009) it appears that many parents are never told or aware or learn the name of vaccination they may asked to accept for their children, most of the emphasis in communication about immunization is on the ‘when and where’ with very little on the ‘what is it’ (Nichter, 1988). As a result, must parents have a poor understanding of immunization many do not know which diseases are prevented by which vaccine or how many doses of each are needed? In Indonesia, for example a study in Yogyakarta, province found parents believing incorrectly that, only one dose is sufficient against polio or for DPT (Singarimu, 1986).
In view of this finding a research recommended that A better understanding of immunization schedule and health educating people on the importance of routine immunization, and the NPI should conduct periodic health system research to identify hindrance to effective delivery of routine immunization exercise, lastly the use of advocacy visit to community and religious leaders to create awareness about immunization and its benefits so that they will be informed and mobilised the people around them.
