Immunization is most effective way to prevent of vaccine-preventable disease. The vaccination of children against six serious but preventable diseases (tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, poliomyelitis, and measles) has been a cornerstone of the child health care system in India.

In the immunization programme vaccination has been playing vital role to control these diseases and still the awareness of these vaccine-preventable diseases is not substantial across India but poliomyelitis is almost end. In this paper an attempt has been made to explore the socio-economic, ritual effects and educational background respondents and the major bottlenecks of immunization programme. Immunization drop out is the severe problem in the effective implementation of immunization programme in India.
