Maternal and child health programs (MCH) are considered not to be running well. so that Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest MMR in ASEAN. This study uses a descriptive research method using a qualitative approach. The place of research is the Petung- Public Health Center (P-PHC), Penajam Paser Utara Regency. This research is intended to provide information and analyze comparisons related to health status in MCH services, especially in the health of young infants and toddlers before and after the Covid-19 pandemic, and hopes that in the future health services will be better good. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was quite detrimental to the growth and development of children throughout the Petung Sub-District. Immunization activities in Petung were quite experiencing problems. As for immunization itself, it was intended that infants, toddlers and children could protect against various diseases in the future and help build special antibodies to fight certain diseases. As a result, young infants, toddlers and children who are not immunized are very at risk of developing complications of diseases related to the immune system of children in the future.
