aThe proportion of transmission initiated = Total reports partially or fully received × 100 / total N reports expected from sub-districts)

bThe proportion of transmission complete = Total reports fully received × 100 / total N reports expected from sub-districts)

cAs the surveillance focal points were absent from their health facilities for the booster-training workshop in Berberati during epidemiological week 14, they did not submit their Weekly Reports until returning the following week. Therefore completeness, but not timeliness of reports, was calculated for week 14
