Covid 19 disease affects many health activities, including immunization. Ignoring the immunization of children and the decline in immunization coverage at a time when the country's health care network system is struggling with Covid 19 may simultaneously infect the country with vaccine-preventable diseases and increase the risk of other communicable diseases spreading nationwide. It is feared that the negligence of families on child immunization will not only ruin the country's past achievements in this field, but in addition to the corona epidemic, we will also see the spread of other contagious diseases such as polio and measles. Fortunately, immunization services are still in place in these conditions of Covid 19 disease, and services are provided to the dear people of the country in accordance with health protocols. Therefore, we hope to see the maintenance and promotion of immunization coverage in the country.
