N. Medical College, Bagalkot. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the urban field practice area of S. Nijalingappa Medical College in Bagalkot city between August-October 2016. According to NFHS-4, full immunization coverage in Karnataka is 59.8%. Sample size = 4pq/l 2 , taking p=59.8%, q=100-p= 40.2 and allowable error (l) = 10% of p. Sample size = 269. House to house survey was done for the presence of under 5 children. Vaccination status of the under five children was assessed based on immunization card or mother's verbal reports, and its determinants were collected using a pre-designed semi-structured questionnaire. Data was compiled and tabulated by using MS EXCEL and was analyzed, using percentages and chi square test. Result: A total of 283 under five children's immunization status was studied. Percentage of children fully immunized was found to be 83%, partially immunized were 16% and unimmunized were 1%. 24.3% children were less than 12 months of age, 22.9% were 12-23 months and 52.6% children were 24-60 months. 65.37% of mothers had their child's immunization card. Major reason for failure of immunization was found to be lack of awareness of the schedule i.e. 41% of children and negligence of parents and grandparents in 32.5%. Conclusion: More vigorous awareness campaign are to be brought about in this area to achieve the coverage of 100%.
