Impact of Small Group Counseling and Family Support on Increasing Complete Basic Immunization (CBI) Coverage at Siak Health Center

Complete Basic Immunization (CBI) is a crucial public health goal at the Siak Health Center. In recent years, the coverage has decreased from 48% in 2022 to 45.9% in 2023, necessitating effective interventions. This study assesses the impact of small group counseling and family support on increasing CBI coverage. The methodology involves direct small-group sessions and ongoing family visits in informal settings. Counseling materials were supported with visual aids to improve knowledge among mothers about the importance of immunization. Results indicate a positive response from participants, highlighting increased understanding and motivation. This study underscores the need for continuous counseling and monitoring to ensure higher immunization rates.
