Abstract
Immunity is the capability of multicellular organisms to resist harmful
microorganisms from entering it. Immunity involves both specific and nonspecific
components. The nonspecific components act as barriers or eliminators of a wide
range of pathogens irrespective of their antigenic makeup. Other components of
the immune system adapt themselves to each new disease encountered and can
generate pathogen-specific immunity [1]. Objective: -1) To assess
the immunization status among under five children.2) To find out the factors of
noncompliance of immunization from birth to five-year children. Material and
