A second measles case has been reported in Denver, Colorado, highlighting the ongoing risk of measles transmission in the city. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring the situation to prevent further spread. The case was confirmed at a local hospital, but the individual’s identity has not been disclosed to protect their privacy. Measles outbreaks have been rare in the US since widespread vaccination efforts began in the 1990s. However, pockets of unvaccinated communities and international travel have contributed to recent measles cases. Authorities are urging residents to ensure they are up-to-date on their vaccinations to prevent the spread of the highly contagious disease.
