The data was gathered through a self-administered questionnaire that was given to the participants who are mothers living in the key cities of Cavite, Philippines with at least one child has been vaccinated with the MMR vaccine. Purposive sampling was implemented for the study. Data was analyzed through mean and Spearman's Rho. The study concluded that educational attainment, and economic status were less likely to influence vaccine hesitancy and intention to vaccinate as compared to the mothers' knowledge on vaccinations. The study revealed that as vaccine hesitancy decreases, a mother's intention to vaccinate their children increases and that as knowledge on the MMR vaccine increases, mothers were less likely to be hesitant towards vaccinations and were more likely to have their unvaccinated children be vaccinated in the future.
