Introduction: The current problematic situation regarding mothers' knowledge about immunization lies in the lack of understanding of the diseases that vaccines prevent. Additionally, there is confusion about the recommended vaccination schedule and required doses. Mothers are not always informed about the potential side effects of vaccines, which can lead to doubts and fears. Objective: To determine how knowledge about immunization relates to attitudes towards immunization in mothers of children under 5 years old. Methodology: This research uses the hypothetical-deductive method with a quantitative approach, applied type, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational design. The sample will consist of 109 mothers of children under 5 years old who are new patients in the pediatric service of a public hospital in Lima Cercado 2024. The survey technique will be used, and the instrument will include two questionnaires: one for knowledge created by Jorge Ticse and another for attitudes developed by María Florencio. The reliability of these instruments was determined with Cronbach's Alpha values of 0.847 and 0.860, respectively. For data collection, authorization will first be obtained from the university's Ethics Committee and the director of the mentioned healthcare center.
