A recent traveler to Mexico from Pueblo has been confirmed as Colorado’s first measles case since 2023, according to public health officials on Monday.

The individual, who remains unidentified, visited an area in Mexico with a measles outbreak and was not vaccinated, as per the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

People who visited Southwest Deli and Cafe in south Pueblo between March 17 and 21, and the Southern Colorado Clinic in Pueblo West on March 22 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. may have been exposed to measles, state officials warned.

Those who may have been exposed are advised to monitor themselves for symptoms for 21 days and consider avoiding public gatherings.

Measles symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, white spots in the mouth, and a rash, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Complications can include pneumonia and encephalitis.

If symptoms develop, individuals should contact their healthcare provider immediately.

Measles cases in the U.S. have already surpassed 2024 numbers, with outbreaks reported in several states. A child in Texas died from measles in February, marking the first pediatric death since 2003. The outbreak in Texas has grown to 400 cases, with other states also experiencing outbreaks.

Health experts fear that the virus will spread to communities with low vaccination rates, potentially causing outbreaks for an extended period. Cases in Mexico have been linked to the Texas outbreak, according to the World Health Organization.

Colorado state epidemiologist Dr. Rachel Herlihy emphasized the importance of vaccination in preventing measles outbreaks, stating that the MMR vaccine provides excellent protection. Coloradans are urged to review their vaccination status and take necessary precautions.

The vaccine may also prevent infection if administered within 72 hours of exposure, state officials noted.
