Colorado exposure location information

Last updated: Feb. 24, 2026

  Back to the measles homepage.

If you were at any of the locations during the dates and times listed below, you may have been exposed to measles. People exposed to measles typically develop symptoms 7 to 21 days after exposure. People exposed to measles should monitor for symptoms for 21 days after exposure and consider avoiding public gatherings or high-risk settings. Monitoring for symptoms is especially critical for people who have not been vaccinated with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. MMR vaccine, given within 72 hours after exposure, can prevent or reduce the severity of infection. Immunoglobulin (IG), if administered within six days of exposure, may also be used in some circumstances.

Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a characteristic rash that usually starts several days later along the hair and face and spreads.

If you were at one of these locations during the exposure window and develop symptoms, immediately contact your health care provider by phone. If you do not have a provider, call an urgent care center or emergency department and explain that you may have been exposed to measles. Calling ahead helps prevent additional exposures.

Exposures listed below may be due to out-of-state residents who were infectious while in Colorado.
