Introduction: Immunizations save between 2 and 3 million lives each year. It is one of the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions. At a global level, in recent years, the percentages of children who receive the coverage of recommended vaccines to improve the health of the population have varied. Thus, throughout the world, it was achieved that 85% of infants were administered three doses of ( DPT3) vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis infectious diseases that cause disorders, disabilities and even death where it finally achieved 90% coverage of this vaccine. Currently, vaccines protect children very well, but despite this, one in five children under 1 year of age does not receive the basic vaccines they need to survive and stay healthy. Objective: determine the relationship between knowledge about immunizations and compliance with the vaccination schedule in mothers of children under 5 years of age at the Barranca hospital - 2020 Methodology: A descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional study will be carried out. The study population will be made up of 132 mothers with children under 5 years of age who attend the vaccination center at the Barranca Hospital, to whom the questionnaire on Knowledge about Immunizations and Compliance with the Vaccination Schedule will be applied as an instrument. The data obtained will be tabulated and statistically processed, applying the SPSS 22 statistical package and Excel.
