Measles remains a significant public health problem, particularly among school-aged children. Outbreak Response Immunization (ORI) is a key strategy to prevent measles outbreaks; however, its effectiveness depends greatly on community participation and cross-sectoral support. Data from Tanah Garam Primary Health Center in 2025 showed that measles-rubella ORI coverage among primary school children was still low, reaching only 44.15% of the 5,060 targeted children. This community service activity aimed to support the optimization of measles ORI implementation through an educational and community-based assistance approach. The methods included health education for parents and teachers, assistance during school-based ORI implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of immunization coverage. The results indicated improved community understanding of the importance of measles immunization, increased support from schools, and strengthened coordination between the primary health center and schools. This community service activity contributes to promotive and preventive health efforts and supports the prevention of measles outbreaks in the working area of Tanah Garam Primary Health Center.

Immunization is one of the most effective and efficient public health efforts in preventing diseases and reducing mortality rates in children such as smallpox, polio, tuberculosis, hepatitis B, diphtheria, measles, rubella, congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), tetanus, pneumonia (lung inflammation) and meningitis (inflammation of the brain membrane) (Nandi & Shet, 2020). Data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2020 showed that vaccination coverage in the 3rd and 4th months was months. However, efforts can be made to increase child vaccination coverage to 80% and that does not include DT, MR2, and HPV vaccinations. As, measles data is only 45%, diphtheria-tetanus (DT) is around 40% (Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2021). To determine the relationship between maternal knowledge and the completeness of basic immunization in children at the Raden Omas Posyandu. This study uses a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional method. The population in this study consisted of mothers who had children aged 12 to 18 months at Posyandu Raden Omas, totaling 36 mothers. The statistical results showed a relationship between maternal knowledge and the completeness of basic immunization in children p-value (0.048). Most respondents had good knowledge, as many as 13 respondents (36.1%). Sufficient knowledge, as many as 13 respondents (36.1%). Insufficient knowledge, as many as 10 respondents or 27.8%. Most respondents had incomplete immunization, namely 18 respondents (50%).

Measles is an endemic disease in developing countries, including Indonesia, measles is still the 5th disease that attacks, especially babies and toddlers. The aim of the research is to influence the provision of measles rubella immunization in children aged 18 – 36 months. This type of research is quantitative and the research design is descriptive analytical with a cross sectional approach. The results of the chi square test for the knowledge factor of mothers of toddlers which influenced the provision of measles rubella immunization were obtained with a ρ value of 0.000, while for the results of the attitude factors which influenced the provision of measles rubella immunization the value was obtained with a ρ value of 0.008, and the distance factor to health services which influenced the provision of measles rubella immunization with the chi square test obtained a ρ value of 0.036. In conclusion, the knowledge factor of mothers under five which influences the provision of measles-rubella immunization in children aged 18-36 months, the chi square test obtained a ρ value of 0.000, which is smaller than the α value of 0.05, meaning that there is a significant relationship between the knowledge factor and the provision of measles immunization, the distance factor to health services that influences the provision of measles-rubella immunization, the chi square test obtained a ρ value of 0.036, which means that there is a relationship between the distance traveled to health services and the provision of measles-rubella immunization. Suggestions for further research with different independent variables and different subjects.

Achievement of Complete Basic Immunization (IDL) in eleven Indonesian provinces in 2022 is still below the national target of 90%. The eleven provinces in question are West Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Maluku, East Nusa Tenggara, North Kalimantan, Riau, West Kalimantan, West Papua, West Sumatra, Papua and Aceh.The type of research used in this research is descriptive observational research. The data used in this study is secondary data, namely monthly reports on the results of routine immunizations for babies. It was found that the majority of basic immunization coverage for babies born in January 2022 was higher than for babies born in January 2023. Coverage for basic immunization types for babies was highest in 2022. (73.3%) was obtained from Hepatitis B, BCG, and Polio 1 immunization. The highest coverage of basic types of infant immunization in 2023 was obtained from Hepatitis B immunization (73.3%). Hepatitis B immunization received a high score for babies born in January 2022. Coverage of basic immunization types for babies born in January 2022 for types DPT-HB-Hib 1, 2, 3, Polio 2, 3, 4, received 36.7% -73, 3%, and Measles-Rubella got 33.3%. The frequency of immunization against PVC-1 (23.3%), RV-1 (6.7%), and IPV-1 (13.3%) is still low due to not visiting posyandu and giving immunizations past the immunization deadline. The average value of basic immunization coverage for babies born in January 2023 (10%) is lower than babies born in January 2022 (43.3%) with a difference of 33.3%.

Immunization is one of the measures to prevent the spread of disease in other areas which has been proven to be very cost effective. Measles rubella is a disease that can be transmitted through the air, namely when a sufferer sneezes or coughs. This disease can attack toddlers and children aged 9 months to 15 years, causing them to suffer from hearing loss, cataracts, speech delays and heart failure. This research aims to determine the effect of poster media on increasing knowledge, attitudes and actions of teachers in providing measles rubella immunization to elementary school students at SD It Al Wahdah Kendari in 2023. The research method used is a quantitative approach, pre experimental design type with research design one pre test-post test group. The research sample was 33 people using a total sampling technique. The instruments used in this research were questionnaires and posters. The results of this research show that the p-value of the Wilcoxon test for knowledge is 0.000, the attitude p-value is 0.000 and the action p-value is 0.000. It can be concluded that there is an influence of poster media on increasing teacher knowledge, attitudes and actions in providing measles rubella immunization because the p-value is <0.000.

Background: Many factors influence the completeness of basic immunization, such as parents, geographical location, vaccines, and health workers who provide immunization services. Even though the immunization program has been implemented well, there are still some immunization coverage that have not been achieved. Parents are the most important factor in scoring a child's complete immunization. Parents' participation in a health program is influenced by various factors and one of them is knowledge and attitudes towards the health program itself. Giving vaccines to children is the right way to anticipate the possibility of children being infected with diseases that are threatening at any time. Immunization functions to build a child's immunity against infectious diseases and dangerous diseases that can cause bodily defects. even death. Immunization given to children is the most effective way to protect children from tuberculosis (TB), diphtheria, pertussis (cocoon cough), tetanus (toothbrush). poliomyletis, measles, rubella and hepatitis B (Mai-imbi, 2021). During this time, parents had hepatitis B, meningitis, pneumonia and polio. VPD is a disease that is hoped to be eradicated or suppressed by implementing an immunization program Objective: Knowing the relationship between maternal attitudes and family support with the completeness of follow-up immunizations for young children at the Medan Amplas Community Health Center, Medan Amplas District in 2022. Method chi square test p value < 0.05 means H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, the statistical test results show a significant relationship. Results: There is a relationship between the mother's attitude of family support and the completeness of advanced immunization for children in 2022.
