Rather than continue on its journey, a cruise ship has remained docked in the Caribbean port of St. Lucia with its nearly 300 passengers and crew quarantined since Monday morning. Health officials probably checked whether each person had gotten the measles vaccine, because that's how you prevent the measles. If measles vaccination rates fall any further, you may eventually need luck to not get the measles on a cruise ship, in a movie theater, at school, or in other public places. Remember the measles vaccine is very effective at preventing the measles but not 100%. In the close quarters of a cruise ship, just a single person with the measles can cause a real ship show.
