(EL PASO COUNTY, Colo.) — The Colorado Department of Public Health (CDPHE) and Environment and the El Paso County Public Health (EPCPHE) have confirmed two measles cases in El Paso County.

Two unvaccinated adults have been confirmed to have measles. The adults are unrelated, but were at Denver International Airport around the same time on Wednesday, May 14. Another individual from Arapahoe County who was a passenger on a Turkish Airlines flight that arrived in Denver on May 13 has also been confirmed positive for measles.

The two unvaccinated adults from El Paso and the vaccinated adult from Arapahoe County are all recovering at home.

The CDPHE said that based on information, anyone who was in the following locations during the dates and times may have been exposed to measles:

Those who believe they have been exposed to measles should monitor symptoms for 21 days after exposure and consider avoiding public gatherings or high-risk settings.

“Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself, your family, and your community. Measles is highly contagious and can sometimes lead to serious health problems, but it is a vaccine-preventable disease,” the CDPHE wrote. “Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a characteristic rash that usually starts several days later on the face and spreads. The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine provides strong protection.”

Monitoring is important, especially for people who have not been vaccinated with the MMR vaccine, which, if given within 72 hours of infection, can prevent infection.

Colorado’s total number of cases is up to six.
