Colorado fights 2026 measles outbreak linked to Broomfield schools
Colorado's first measles outbreak of 2026 has three linked cases tied to Broomfield schools, with 11 potential exposure sites across Broomfield, Lafayette, Westminster and Louisville. Exposure venues include two schools, a grocery store, restaurants and a medical facility, with symptom onset windows extending into mid-March. Officials advise contacting ahead before seeking care if exposed, as vaccination (two doses) reduces infection risk by about 97%; Colorado has four confirmed measles cases so far in 2026 (36 in all of 2025).
