Data from WHO shows that every year in the world, there are 1.5 million infant deaths one week old and 1.4 million stillbirths due to not getting immunized. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is one of the most critical indicators that determine the degree of health and welfare of a community. This research was conducted to assess the importance of the socialization of posyandu activities and the role of cadres to invite citizens to come to Posyandu because one of the factors that encourage the completeness of immunization is the presence of mothers to Posyandu in addition to other factors that might play a role such as mothers' knowledge and attitudes towards immunization. The design of this study is a quantitative analytic cross-sectional approach carried out in Posyandu Teratai 1, in the January 2020 period. The sample of this study is all mothers who have 5-year-old babies who are in the coverage area of the Posyandu Teratai 1. The independent variable is the routine or non-routine of the respondents present during the implementation of Posyandu Teratai 1, their knowledge and attitudes towards immunization. The dependent variable in this study is the child's immunization status—the statistical analysis used Chi-square with Yates Correction or Fisher Exact alternative test. Results Statistical test results show that routine attendance at the Posyandu (p-value <0.001) plays a substantial role in completing immunization. While knowledge and attitudes do not represent a significant role, but they still have a particular influence on the completeness of immunization (p-values: 0.098 and 0.240). A factor that has a role in increasing the number of immunization outcomes in an area is to encourage the presence of mothers to come to Posyandu routinely. AbstrakData WHO menunjukkan bahwa setiap tahun di dunia terdapat 1,5 juta kematian bayi usia satu minggu dan 1,4 juta bayi lahir mati karena tidak diimunisasi. Angka Kematian Bayi (AKB) merupakan salah satu indikator terpenting yang menentukan derajat kesehatan dan kesejahteraan suatu masyarakat. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menilai pentingnya sosialisasi kegiatan posyandu dan peran kader untuk mengajak warga datang ke posyandu karena salah satu faktor yang mendorong kelengkapan imunisasi adalah kehadiran ibu ke posyandu disamping faktor lain yaitu mungkin memainkan peran seperti pengetahuan dan sikap ibu terhadap imunisasi. Desain penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional yang dilaksanakan di Posyandu Teratai 1 periode Januari 2020. Sampel penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu yang memiliki bayi berusia 5 tahun yang berada di wilayah cakupan Posyandu Teratai 1. Variabel bebasnya adalah rutin atau tidak rutinnya responden yang hadir selama pelaksanaan Posyandu Teratai 1, pengetahuan dan sikap mereka terhadap imunisasi. Variabel terikat dalam penelitian ini adalah status imunisasi anak—analisis statistik menggunakan uji Chi-square dengan Yates Correction atau uji alternatif Fisher Exact. Hasil Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa kehadiran rutin di Posyandu (p-value <0,001) berperan penting dalam menyelesaikan imunisasi. Sedangkan pengetahuan dan sikap tidak memiliki peran yang signifikan, tetapi masih memiliki pengaruh khusus terhadap kelengkapan imunisasi (p-values: 0,098 dan 0,240). Salah satu faktor yang berperan dalam peningkatan angka luaran imunisasi di suatu daerah adalah mendorong kehadiran ibu untuk datang ke posyandu secara rutin. Kata kunci: imunisasi; posyandu; kader; pengetahuan; kehadiran
