Material and Methods: A Quasi experimental non equivalent control group post test based study was carried out in antenatal OPD. Total 60 antenatal mothers were selected by random sampling technique. Structured knowledge questionnaire was administered regarding demographic variable of the women and their knowledge about the immunization schedule. This study was conducted in antenatal OPD at Rohilkhand and Medical Hospital, Bareilly. Results: The mean post-test knowledge score (23.40 ± 3.90) of the experimental group was higher than the mean post-test knowledge score (8.70 ± 4.69) of the control group with the mean difference of 14.7. The calculated t value was (t=13.17) more than the tabled value (t58 = 2.00). Hence there is significance difference in the mean post-test knowledge scores. Conclusion: The study concluded that the Structured Teaching Programme for immunization schedule is very essential to enhance the knowledge of antenatal mothers.
