Data analysis using Spearman Rho statistic test with significance level α ≤ 0,05. Results: There was a relationship with a positive direction between perception and obedience to the application of primary immunization to infants (p = 0.0001, r=0.428). There was a relationship with a negative direction between perception of barriers and obedience to the application of primary immunization to infants (p=0.0001, r=-0.525).
