Introduction: The measles supplemental immunisation activity is an effective strategy that improves vaccination coverage and reduces measles-related morbidity and mortality. However, the lack of compliance with microplanning processes, contributes to improper estimation of resources needed for a good SIA in Nigeria. We described the microplanning verification process for 2017/2018 measles vaccination campaign and highlighted the contribution of selected variables to the output of the microplan.

- The study examines the use of GIS technology in planning the 2017/2018 measles vaccination campaign in Nigeria, which aimed to address low vaccination rates from previous efforts.
- GIS-generated ward maps were utilized to enhance microplanning by providing detailed estimates of target populations, vaccination post locations, and necessary staffing for effective campaign implementation.
- Results indicated that Northern states using GIS technology achieved closer alignment with operational targets compared to those that did not, with over 90% of the ward maps accurately capturing essential details like settlements and vaccination sites.
