Abstract: In Ecuador there are risk factors that make it impossible for mothers with children to be vaccinated against different diseases. The objective of the research was to propose a comprehensive vaccination scheme based on the factors that may affect its implementation by the residents of the province of Imbabura, canton Ibarra. The research was carried out in a quantitative, transversal, descriptive, correlational modality with the support of analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, historical-logical and systemic methods with the application of a survey which was processed in the SPPS. 58 % of the mothers surveyed do not comply with the regular schedule for fear of contagion, with 45 % there are almost always biological in the health units when they have attended a scheduled appointment, 47 % stated that they do not have enough time to several reasons, with 69 % at the moment having some knowledge about the vaccines that are administered to infants and as a last factor is that 58 % of the people surveyed, their children under 5 years of age lack vaccines, this concludes that there are many factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected the child population, causing them to fall behind in the regular schedule, causing children to have no defenses to combat the different diseases that vaccines protect us, so it is important the intervention of mothers of families and/or legal guardians to comply with the immunization schedule
