<![CDATA[The IPV (Inactive Polio Vaccine) immunization is a mandatory primary immunization that should be administered to infants aged 4-11 months. Infants are at risk of contracting polio (poliomyelitis) if they do not receive IPV immunization. Maternal knowledge about IPV immunization is crucial to ensure that mothers can provide this immunization to their infants. This research aims to determine the impact of health education on IPV immunization for infants in the Carita Health Center's working area. This study employs a quasi-experimental design, specifically a one-group design without a control group. The instrument used is a questionnaire. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, with 53 respondents participating. Data were analyzed using the dependent t test The average pretest score was 8.17, while the average posttest score was 11.72. The difference in the average scores between the maternal knowledge pretest and posttest was -3.547. The paired t-test results showed a p-value of <0.001, indicating that there is an influence of health education on IPV immunization for infants on maternal knowledge in the Carita Health Center's working area. Therefore, there is a need for a change in the method and the addition of health education media in the form of colorful leaflets with accompanying pictures, to be distributed during every integrated health post activity.AbstrakImunisasi IPV (Inactive Polio Vaccine) adalah imunisasi dasar yang wajib diberikan kepada bayi usia 4-11 bulan.
