Descriptive statistics was used to analyze description of mothers’ characteristics, perception and acceptance; while crosstab analysis using Chi-Square was used to analyze the association between mothers’ characteristics versus perception and acceptance, and to analyze the association between perception versus acceptance of MR vaccine. Results: This study found that 50% of respondents have a positive perception of MR vaccine, while as many as 59% of respondents have high acceptance of MR vaccine. Maternal education level and children’s experience of measles had significant correlation with perception of MR vaccine (p<0.001). Variable which has significant correlation with acceptance of MR vaccine was only mothers’ education level.
