Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Results: We identified 4 studies. Efforts to increase complete basic immunization coverage for children are carried out by providing Message Reminders to caregivers or parents of children, so as to increase mother's compliance in providing complete Basic Immunization to children according to the specified schedule. Conclusion: From the 4 journals reviewed, there were several mothers who became obedient and routinely followed the immunization schedule for their children after being given a Message Reminder by health workers.
