Background: Complete Basic Immunization Coverage (IDL) in Southeast Sulawesi in 2019 was 92.63% and in 2020 it increased to 92.91%. Based on the district/city level, the health center with the lowest prevalence of complete basic immunization coverage for infants is the Labibia health center. Based on data from the Kendari City Health Service Profile (2021), immunization data at the Labibia Health Center is still low at 50.57%. Aims: This study aims to determine the behavior of mothers in giving complete immunization to toddlers in Labibia District, Kendari City in 2023. Methods: This research is a qualitative research using a phenomenological approach. The number of informants to be studied is 6 people, consisting of 2 key informants and 4 casual informants. Results: The research show that mother's behavior based on Antecedent theory is based on the availability of adequate facilities and infrastructure, family support in the form of emotional support and information. However, mother's knowledge still does not clearly understand the types and benefits of immunization. Mother's behavior is based on Behavior theory based on the mother's visit to the Posyandu and following the socialization carried out by health workers regarding immunization. Meanwhile, the mother's behavior is based on the Consequences theory, namely the impact felt by respondents that by providing immunizations children are not easily exposed to or infected with disease. Conclusion: In conclusion, the mother's behavior in providing immunizations is based on the Antecedent, Behavior and Consequences theory. However, regarding knowledge, mothers still do not clearly understand the types and benefits of each type of immunization.
