Students and staff have been told to be extra-vigilant for symptoms.
Experts say low immunisation rates among young adults are to blame. Dr Nikki Turner said vaccinations need to be monitored.
"It's not at the top of people's mind until they see measles," she told Newshub.
"Health care services need to start looking at recalling people without any records."
Dr Turner warns measles should never become normalised, and told Newshub the current outbreak shows no sign of slowing.
There are also fears outbreaks could become a threat for Pacific nations.
