Fig. 2 — Reported measles cases. Borno state, Nigeria, December 2018 – March, 2019. Measles cases = Cases investigated and line-listed; Source: Borno State measles line-list. The number of measles cases were greater in Maiduguri (attack rate per 100,000: 50.70), followed by Bama (attack rate per 100,000: 331.43), Konduga (attack rate per 100,000: 28.14) and Jere (attack rate per 100,000: 14.19). Challenges around accessibility to various communities to implement and provide health services remain a barrier in Borno State. At the time of the outbreak response immunization, two LGAs (i.e. Abadam and Marte) were totally inaccessible and, only four LGAs (out of the 27) and the state capital (Maiduguri) were fully accessible. The remaining LGAs were partially accessible. We plotted the maps using R software and shape files obtained from open source website. http://www.gadm.org.
