        abstract = {Background: Knowledge, attitude and practices about immunization among mothers of children aged 1-2 years was assessed. Method: 300 mothers were administered a semi-structured questionnaire at PHC Hajan from 1st march to 1st may 2011 to elicit the information about the knowledge, attitude and practices of the mothers regarding immunization. Results: 100\% of mothers knew that vaccination is beneficial and protects their children from diseases. 39\% knew OPV protects from polio while only 1\% were aware of protective role of BCG. All mothers knew about immunization in pregnancy but 86\% were unaware about its preventive role. 26\% mothers believed that 3 doses of T.T (tetanus toxoid) are to be given during pregnancy. Whereas 98\% of children were completely immunized, 93\% completed on schedule. Eighty percent of mothers reported of fever following DPT. All mothers had received tetanus toxoid during pregnancy. Conclusion: Considering mothers' poor knowledge and good attitude, health education on immunization is emphasized to improve their practices. }
