Qualitative research method was used and case study design, purposive samplingtechnique was used to select the 5 respondents and semi-structured interview for data collection.The data collected was transcribed manually, which yielded (111) open codes, (14) sub-categories and (9) categories. The findings revealed thatparticipants perceived vaccine preventable diseases contacted by small children to be caused by Jinn and Witch Craftand with life time threats, it was also deduced that participants didn’t believe in immunization programsand child death or physical deformity, they only perceived it to be destiny.Hence, not even immunization can cure or avertit.They alsofind information on immunization asirrelevant. Community based health services and mass media were their sources of information on immunization.
