The results of the study showed that mothers who obeyed complete TT immunization were 33 respondents (44.6%) and those who did not comply with complete TT immunization were 41 respondents (55.4%). The chi-square test results showed that the level of knowledge (p = 0.017), attitude (p = 0,000), family support for compliance with TT immunization of pregnant women (p = 0.016).
