Unvaccinated staff and students at a Waikato high school have been told they're not allowed on campus next week, because of a measles outbreak.

The order comes from the District Health Board, after a student at Morrinsville College contracted the disease.

The school will be closed tomorrow, and from Tuesday anyone who wants to attend must have written proof they've been vaccinated.

Anyone who can't prove their immunity won't be able to return to school for another week.

The rule doesn't apply to teachers born before 1969, they're considered to have natural immunity.
