A student from Macquarie University has become the 35th case of measles in NSW since Christmas, with health authorities warning people that they should be vaccinated before traveling.

The 20-year-old woman was unconsciously contagious at various locations in Sydney, Maitland and Wyong between Wednesday 3 and Sunday 7 April.

"We can not stress enough the need to vaccinate vacationers … because the majority of cases we see are reported at home," NSW Health's director of communicable diseases, Vicky Sheppard, said Wednesday.
