<abstract language="eng">Immunization is a preventive measure that helps to prevent diseases before their occurrence. This paper aims to calculate the effect of mother's education on child immunization. Multilogistic regression is applied by using the data taken from DHS (Demographic and Health survey) for India and Pakistan. The mother's education, region, child gender and household head gender were taken as independent variables. Results showed that illiterate mothers immunize their children less than the highly educated mothers. People living in rural areas also immunize their children less than the people living in urban areas. It was suggested that the mothers should be provided comfortable atmosphere to get knowledge and awareness. People in rural areas should also provide knowledge and access to the immunization.</abstract>
