Measles Update
Dear LPHA Partners,
The investigation of the measles case identified in December has closed. No additional cases were identified. Symptom monitoring among known contacts to the confirmed case ended on January 11. Nearly all identified contacts of the case were notified by public health of their exposure and assessed for immunity or prior measles disease (with the exception of one family unit that public health has been unable to reach). CDPHE issued an Epi-X notification to other state health departments alerting them to exposures that may have occurred at Denver International Airport and an airport in California.
If your agency has any questions or identifies a suspect measles case, please contact the CDPHE Vaccine Preventable Disease Unit at cdphe_vpd@state.co.us, or 303-692-2700 (business hours), or 303-370-9395 (after hours/weekends/holidays).
