Terdapat bayi belum mendapat imunisasi DPT 1-3 lengkap pada usia 4 bulan dikarenakan rendahnya pengetahuan masyarakat, penolakan imunisasi, takut bayi panas dan rewel, bidan kurang fokus terhadap program imunisasi, kurang melibatkan tokoh agama. Kebijakan supervisi supportif sebagai strategi penanggulangan rendahnya cakupan DPT memberikan solusi positif. Kesimpulan: Kabupaten Bangkalan dan Kota Probolinggo berpotensi difteri, karena banyak sasaran yang tidak diimunisasi DPT lengkap, bidan tidak fokus, catatan kohort tidak akurat, tidak melibatkan tokoh agama, kurang sosialisasi, masyarakat tidak memahami imunisasi secara benar.
