DPT, and measles.
This was an analytic observational research by using cross sectional approach.

purposive random sampling technique. Data were obtained with questionnaires to
respondents including education, knowledge, occupation, economy status, and
attitude. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 software by using chi square test
with univariate and bivariate analysis with significant value of p-value < 0.05, and
trust interval of 95%.
The results showed that there were correlations of education (p-value=0.002;
OR=4.1, CI=95%), knowledge (p-value=0.000; OR=154, CI=95%), occupation
