The realization of this public policy was built through Law No 36 of 2009 on Health and the Regulation of Health Ministry No12 of 2017 on the Implementation of Compulsory Immunization. This regulation is faced with the aspects of legal awareness and legal compliance of citizens who do not fully understand the importance of Compulsory Immunization Program. The objective is to examine the legal awareness and legal compliance of the community towards the fulfillment of children’s rights through compulsory immunization programs. The method used in this study is normative juridical. Research findings indicate that compulsory immunization policies for the fulfillment of children’s rights must involve the cooperation of the Regional Government and community participation. The response of stakeholders who make policies, namely the Regional Government through the public health center, must be able to act appropriately and quickly in terms of handling this policy This description can be irony when immunization is understood as fulfilling children’s rights. children have the right to health as the most fundamental right. Legal norms have mandated that goal.
