Measles case confirmed in O'ahu child under age 5

CDPHE confirmed a measles case in Denver County on Monday, involving an unvaccinated infant under one year old.
The infant's recent family travel to Chihuahua, Mexico, where a measles outbreak exists, likely caused the infection.
The infant was too young for the routine MMR vaccine given at 12-15 months, increasing vulnerability to measles.
Officials advise that people at Denver Health Emergency Department on April 6 between 10:30 a.m. And 4:30 p.m. Monitor for symptoms.
The MMR vaccine is safe and effective, with two doses providing about 97% protection against measles, preventing further spread.
