Imunisasi masih menjadi permasalahan di Indonesia meskipun telah dilakukan berbagai upaya, namun angka imunisasi masih rendah. Aceh merupakan provinsi dengan cakupan imunisasi paling rendah yaitu 41,8% ditahun 2020. Ditengah maraknya kasus COVID-19 yang terus meningkat, imunisasi seharusnya menjadi prioritas utama, karena anak tidak hanya terserang COVID-19 tetapi juga bisa terserang penyakit yang bisa dicegah dengan imunisasi (PD3I). Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui persepsi ibu terhadap imunisasi pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Jenis penelitian kuantitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross sectional study. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu (n=138) dengan anak usia 0-5 tahun di gampong Merduati, gampong lampaseh dan gampong pande, teknik pengambilan sampel adalah total sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan membagikan angket berupa kuesioner secara langsung oleh peneliti. Hasil penelitian menunjukan sebanyak 119 responden (86.2%) memiliki persepsi baik dan sebanyak 19 responden (13.8%) masih dalam kategori persepsi kurang. Direkomendasikan kepada puskesmas setempat untuk mensosialisasikan prosedur imunisasi dimasa pandemi COVID-19, sehingga rasa khawatir masyarakat bisa berkurang.
