Background: Indonesia is committed to achieve measles elimination and control rubella by 2020. One of which is by conducting a measles and rubella (MR) immunization campaign in children aged 9 months to <15 years in two phases in 2017 and 2018. The results of the implementation on MR campaign phase 1 on Java Island, 2017 has achieved 95% of coverage target. Several factors influence the success of achieving the coverage. Method: Used a cross-sectional study design with a sample of 16,413 mothers, the variables studied were the factors in the mother namely age, last education, knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, father’s last education, access to information, family support and support of health workers related to MR immunization status of children aged 9 months to <15 years. Analysis of the relationship in this study was assessed in the Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) and 95% Confident Interval (CI) used chi square and logistic regression analysis. Results: Based on multivariate result in this study, it was found, the most dominant factor in mothers was access to information with a POR value of 16.724 (95% CI: 13.784-20.291, P<0.0005) compared to other factors. This shows that mothers who did not get information about the implementation of the MR Campaign had a risk of 16,724 times higher not to immunize their children than mothers who received information about it. Conclusion: Dissemination of information about health to the community is very important to correct beliefs and improve attitude of the community, especially mothers with better communication strategies.
