Colorado health officials Monday confirmed a second case of measles at Broomfield High School, and warned the public of possible contact with the highly contagious disease at high-traffic Chick-fil-A and Chipotle locations in the area.
The newest case is in an Adams County resident but is related to a Broomfield High School case announced last week. Neither of the affected students was vaccinated with the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, shot.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and local public health officials are investigating other potential contacts with the second student, and said any students and staff who may have additional reason to take precautions would be notified by them or the school.
In addition to the long list of potential exposure spots highlighted with the first Broomfield High School measles case identified Feb. 27, state officials said Monday that exposure to the second student with measles might have occurred over the lunch hour at a Broomfield Chick-fil-A on Feb. 25 and a Westminster Chipotle on Feb. 26.
People who have not had the vaccine can still get it to prevent serious disease, within 72 hours of being exposed. First symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, followed by a rash. Those who suspect they may have measles should not go immediately to an ER or other public health location, but instead call ahead to a provider or the local health department for instructions.
