Unfortunately, there were 15 other Primary Health Centers with 0% UCI coverage, one of them was Kalirungkut Primary Health Center. This study aimed to develop efforts in increasing the UCI coverage in Kalirungkut. Benchmarking to Sidosermo Primary Health Care which had 100% UCI coverage was done to design the best model. Data were obtained through direct interviews with respondents using some questionnaires. Questionnaires identified about knowledge, motivation, perception of workload, attitudes and immunization program management in Sidosermo Primary Health Center.
