Abstract
Immunization is important for children because it can prevent various infectious diseases that
can inhibit a child's growth and development. The provision of immunization in children is
often found various obstacles caused by the target of immunization cannot be achieved. This
can be caused due to a lack of information and immunization schedule errors due to the many
types of immunizations with different schedules. As technology develops, various health-related
cellular applications emerge called mhealth. Mhealth related to immunization is expected to
increase information for parents so they can provide immunizations for their children as
recommended. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of mobile applications related
to immunization in increasing immunization information for parents. Literature is collected for
review, literature search uses several online databases that are included in the inclusion
criteria and is limited to 2015-2020. Nine articles are used as the main analysis, other articles
are added to support the discussion. Cellular applications related to immunization are
available in various forms. Overall, these applications have a major role in providing
information about immunization knowledge and immunization schedule information to increase
parental participation to provide immunizations to their children in full. Therefore, health
workers, especially those directly related to child immunization, are advised to encourage the
use of mobile applications related to immunization against parents in order to achieve goals
related to immunization in children.
