ABSTRACT Immunization involves the process of making children immune or resista.11t to an infectious disease typically by administration of a vaccine. It is one of the most cost effective public health interventions for reducing child mortality and morbidity hence it is the best investment a country can make to ensure a healthy population. Globally it saves about 2-3 million lives annually and provides one of the least expensive tools for preventing childhood vaccine preventable diseases, avoiding costs of curative care. The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study on knowledge attitude and practices of mothers towards immunization of children aged 0-5 years in Mugwata village, Gisozi parish Muramba Sub County, Kisoro district. The general objective was to determine the knowledge. attitude and practices of mothers towards immunization of children of aged 0-5 years. The specific objectives were: to assess knowledge of the rural mothers about immunization, to study the attitudes of rural mothers towards immunization. and to determine the practices of mothers on immunization of children aged 0-5 years. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection were employed. A questionnaire with both closed and open ended questions was used and 65 respondents were sampled. Results: There study observed a high knowledge on immunization, 96.9% of the mothers were able to define immunization approp1iately, 93.8% identified benefits of immunization and at least every mother mentioned one immunizable disease.
