The result of mothers‟ understanding of basic and advanced immunization schedules of the majority was knowledgeable enough. The understanding was based on the majority age of 20 to 35 years old, senior high school students as majority education, housewive job as the majority job. The conclusion of mothers‟ knowledge on toddlers‟ basic and advanced immunization schedules of the majority is knowledgeable enough. It happens because 2 factors can affect knowledge, namely internal and external factors. The internal factor consists of age, education, and job. The external factor consists of environment and social culture factors.
