Methodology: Hypothetical-deductive study, with a quantitative approach and a 6 no observational design at a relational level. The population consisted of 140 mothers of children under 5 years of age who attend the aforementioned service. The instrument used to measure the knowledge variable is called "Knowledge Questionnaire about immunizations" and for the compliance variable the instrument called " Attitudes towards Compliance with the vaccination schedule" was used. Results: It was found that the mothers of children under five years of age had an average age of 31.6 ± 6.5 years, with the minimum age being 21 and the maximum being 52; Most of them were cohabiting (54.4%), had a technical education degree (41.7%), university degree (36.9%), housewife occupation (45.6%) and an average of 1.56 children, a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 5 children. "Medium" knowledge (55.34%) was the most frequent, followed by "High" knowledge (26.21%) and 18.45% "Low". Regarding the level of general knowledge about immunizations, 47.57% had a "High Knowledge", 38.83% a "Medium Knowledge" and 13.59% "Low". Regarding the level of knowledge of the vaccination schedule, 55.34% had a "Medium Knowledge", 32.04% a "High Knowledge" and 12.62% a "Low" knowledge. 59.22% of the mothers of children under five years of age who adequately complied with the vaccination schedule compared to 40.78% of those who inadequately complied. In addition, the majority of mothers with compliance with the adequate (57.4%) and inadequate (52.4%) vaccination schedule have "Medium" knowledge.
