Measles is a highly contagious disease that is often severe, but it is preventable. CDPHE said two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine are about 97% effective in preventing measles. CDPHE and the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment confirmed a case of measles in an unvaccinated adult who lives in Pueblo, the departments said. The person recently traveled to an area of Mexico experiencing an ongoing measles outbreak. There are two known exposure locations at this time: Southwest Deli and Cafe, 1873 S. Pueblo Blvd. Pueblo, from March 17-21 Southern Colorado Clinic, 109 South Burlington Drive, Pueblo West, on March 22 from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Based on available information, CDPHE said anyone who was in the two locations during the dates listed may have been exposed to measles. If you were in those locations on those dates, CDPHE said you should monitor for symptoms for 21 days after exposure and consider avoiding public gatherings or high-risk settings.
