|---|---|---|
Effect of weekly stockout on the reduction of # children vaccinated against measles, per month, per LGA | 77 | Based on the result from Gooding et al. (2019) [14]. The effect of monthly stockout = 308 (77 × 4 weeks) |
Total Number of measles vaccines given in Nigeria, per month | 508,052 | Source: DHIS2 data |
Total number of LGAs in Nigeria | 774 | Source: aboutnigerians.com |
Number of vaccines per LGA, per month | 656 | = 508,052/774 |
Reduction of # vaccines given due to a one-month stockout in a LGA (%) | 0.469 | = 308/656 |
