This study used an analytical survey with a cross sectional approach carried out in April 2018. The sample of this study was 50 mothers who had babies aged 2-4 months. Data analysis was performed using Chi-Square. The results showed that there was a correlation between knowledge (p = 0.035), attitude (p= 0.039) and Health Officer Support (p= 0.034) with the provision of Pentavalent Immunization in Kapuas Kanan Hulu Village in the Work Area of Puskesmas Sungai Durian Sintang.
