The coverage of complete basic immunization in Indonesia reached 59.2% in 2013. In Nusa Tenggara Timur, the coverage of basic immunization has not reached 50.3%. The completeness of this basic immunization is affected by predisposing (occupation, education, knowledge, and culture), supporting (family income, the availability of immunization service, the distance from the house to the immunization location) and driving factors (family and healthcare worker support). This research aims to know the effect of predisposing, supporting and driving maternal factors on the completeness of basic immunization of children 3 years in Loura District Nusa Tenggara Timur Province.

Bivariate analysis shows that there is an effect of education (p=0,001) ,occupation (p=0,037), knowledge (p=0,000), distance from house (p=0,001), healthcare worker support (p=0,000), and family support(p=0,000) on the completeness of children under 3 years basic immunization. On the other hand, there is no effect of family income (p=0,342) and the availability of adequate immunization facilities (p=0,200) on the completeness of toddler basic immunization.
