MESA COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) - The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment confirmed a case of measles in an adult in Mesa County.
Officials say the adult was not vaccinated and did not have any known connection to recent exposures in Colorado or travel outside the state.
According to officials, the lack of a clear source of the infection suggested that community transmission in the Grand Junction area could be a factor. They said Mesa County Public Health is investigating further.
