to fulfill target for HBO and BCG antigens were about 70 and 80% for the first
immunization programme in newborn infant. One of them was Lenteng Subdistrict,
especially in the working area of Primary Health Center of Moncek Tengah. The

immunization administration, i.e. HBO and BCG, in newborn infant at Lenteng
Subdistrict, The District Government of Sumenep on 2010. Those determinants
include characteristic of mother, knowledge level of mother, auxiliary of delivery,
support of husband, and activity of midwife officer. This research used analytical
survey method. The results of this research (confidence interval 95%) showed that the
most influential factor in the failure of first immunization at Lenteng Subdistrict, The
District Government of Sumenep was knowledge level of mother, with p-value and
Odd Ratio (OR) value were 0,012 and 5,134, respectively. OR value indicates that

immunization on mother both directly and indirectly, using various sort of promotion
media. Finally, there must be a direct supervision and evaluation from Health Service
