Colorado Reporting New Outbreak of Measles
- Colorado public health officials reported a new measles case on May 29, 2025, involving a vaccinated adult exposed at Denver International Airport.
- The exposure followed contact with an out-of-state passenger who had measles and stayed at the airport and nearby hotel on May 13 and 14.
- This case is the seventh confirmed measles infection in the state this year, including a child under five from Arapahoe County who previously tested positive.
- Officials advise those exposed in Denver, Aurora, Greenwood Village, and Evergreen to monitor symptoms for 21 days through June 17 and offer free MMR vaccination clinics.
- The rising cases, the highest since 1996, highlight measles' contagious nature despite prevention by vaccine, with vaccinated individuals rarely contracting the disease.
