Abstract

The low uptake of fully immunized children in Dayak Pitap tribe has a probability to be caused by the community belief about the sources of illnesses which are natural causes, spirit of ancestor causes, shamanism causes, breaking taboos causes and other supra natural causes rather than biomedical ones. This belief therefore has an implication on the initiatives that they use to prevent illness including the use of a samban for their children.
