As service providers, the role of officers must be supported by knowledge, infrastructure, response and empathy so that immunization services during a pandemic can continue to run optimally. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the Measles Rubella (MR) immunization service for children aged 18-24 months during the pandemic at the Bumiaji Health Center, Batu City.The research design used was observational with a cross sectional approach with linear regression statistical tests to determine the factors that influence the Measles Rubella (MR) immunization service in children aged 18-24 months during the pandemic at the Bumiaji Health Center, Batu City. The population was 32 immunization officers at the Bumiaji Health Center with a sample of 30 respondents using simple random sampling.The research design used was observational with a cross sectional approach with linear regression statistical tests to determine the factors that influence the Measles Rubella (MR) immunization service in children aged 18-24 months during the pandemic at the Bumiaji Health Center, Batu City. The population was 32 immunization officers at the Bumiaji Health Center with a sample of 30 respondents using simple random sampling.The results of statistical tests showed that the significance results for the knowledge variable were 0.735 > 0.05, the infrastructure variable was 0.000 < 0.05 and the response and empathy variables were 0.456 > 0.05. For the variables of knowledge, response and empathy, Ho is accepted and H1 is rejected, meaning that there is no influence of knowledge or response and empathy to immunization services. While in the infrastructure variable Ho is accepted and H1 is rejected, it means that there is an effect of response and empathy of officers on immunization services.From the results of the study, it was concluded that only infrastructure had an effect on immunization services. In the simultaneous analysis of all variables when analyzed simultaneously on immunization services, there is indeed a significant effect. The Health Office is expected to continue to support increasing knowledge, equipping infrastructure, motivating response and empathy for officers so that Measles Rubella (MR) immunization services for children aged 18-24 months during a pandemic can run even better.
