effective and easy methods for the healthy well-being of a child is immunization. Aims and Objective: To Study Immunization Coverage in the Rural Field Practice Area. Methodology: It was a community based cross sectional study at the Rural health training Centre during one year period January 2015 to January 2016 attending Immunization OPD. Children between 12 to 23 months of age, the immunization status of the children was categorized as: Fully Immunized, Partially Immunized, Not Immunized: The statistical analysis done by Chi-square test. Result: Coverage of BCG was 98.23 %, DPT 1 was 96.67 %, DPT 2 was 92.45 %, DPT 3-86.72 %, Measles-92.23 %, DPT /OPV -76.43 %, Dropout rate between 1stand 3rd doses OPV and DPT -9 Full Immunization Coverage was (12-23 months). 85.65 %. Overall prevalence of Partially /Non-immunized was 10.45 %. The proportion of Partially /Non-immunized was significantly more in Females i.e. 14.61 % as compared to Males 6.67 % (P<0.01, χ2 = 6.266, df= 1). The Reasons for Partially /Non-immunized was Lack of Information 16 (41.02%) Lack of Motivation by Health Worker 18 (46.15%), Obstacles - 15 (38.46%). Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that Full Immunization Coverage was (12-23 months) 85.65 %.
