 The population of this study were all 12-24 month infants in Talang Banjar Health Center, Jambi City in 2019. The sample in this study were 33 people taken by simple random sampling technique. This research was conducted at Talang Banjar Health Center, Jambi City in April-May 2019. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate using the chi square test.
 The results showed that most respondents had enough knowledge as many as 16 respondents (48.5%), high motivation as many as 20 respondents (60.6%) and complete basic immunization as many as 18 respondents (54.5%). There is a relationship between mother's knowledge (p value = 0.005) and mother's motivation (p value = 0.010) with complete basic immunization because the p-value is <0.05.
