    This study addresses the issue of factors influencing seasonal influenza vaccination coverage, which remains a global challenge. Annually, around one billion cases of seasonal flu occur worldwide, with Ecuador included in these statistics. The Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador uses inactivated influenza vaccines. The objective of this research is to analyze the factors influencing influenza vaccination coverage in children under two years of age in Parroquia Huambaló, belonging to Cantón Pelileo, Tungurahua Province. Educational interventions aimed at families and the community were implemented. A quantitative approach was employed as it facilitated numerical data for statistical analysis, and a cross-sectional design was used to identify vaccination factors at a specific point in time. Intentional sampling was conducted using the Fisterra program, which calculates a confidence level of 95% and a precision of 3%. The study sample consisted of 75 children from Parroquia Huambaló. The results allowed the identification of factors influencing vaccination coverage and helped establish more effective educational interventions for families and the community.
