A Western NSW Local Health District spokeswoman reported on Wednesday of "no new measles cases" in Dubbo or elsewhere in the region since two men were diagnosed with the illness in the city in late April.
They caught measles from a traveller who introduced it to Western NSW in mid-April after he returned from New Zealand.
The spokeswoman said the period when secondary cases were likely to occur had passed, but doctors and residents should remain alert for signs and symptoms of measles until June 7 because of the possibility of "undetected infections".

"If you are unsure whether you have had two doses, it is quite safe to have another dose and the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is free via GPs for anyone born during or after 1966 who doesn't have two documented doses," the spokeswoman said.
"Two doses of measles vaccine provides lifelong protection in 99 out of 100 people who are vaccinated and again, we urge anyone who is travelling overseas to please ensure they get their jabs."

The spokeswoman said the health district had "excellent childhood vaccination coverage rates".
"In 2018, the rate for one year olds was 96 per cent, for two year olds it was 94 per cent and for five year olds 97.5 per cent," she said.
"These high vaccination rates help to protect our community against the spread of measles."
Measles is spread through the air when an infectious person breathes, coughs or sneezes.
Symptoms include a fever, cough, runny nose, sore and red eyes, and a spotty rash that starts on the face and neck and spreads to other parts of the body.
