"Although approximately 98 percent of El Paso County residents are vaccinated against measles, public health officials remain concerned about unvaccinated pockets within the community," a city spokesperson explained. "Unvaccinated individuals remain at the highest risk of infection."
The city says that the vaccine is not 100% foolproof and that two doses provide approximately 97% protection.
"However, vaccinated individuals who become infected are far less likely to experience serious complications or transmit the virus to others."
The Measles Hotline is (915) 212-HELP (4357).
