Data were collected using Sperman and Chi square statistical test with significance level p < 0.05.
 Results showed that there is correlation between family’s support with completeness of the basic DPT immunization with correlation significant (p=0.045) and correlation coefficient (r=0.285). Then, there is correlation between family’s role with completeness of the basic DPT immunization with correlation significant (p=0.001) and contingency coefficient (C=0.474).
