REUTERS: The Caribbean nation of St. Lucia has imposed a quarantine on a visiting cruise ship, barring any passengers or crew from leaving the boat while in port, after a case of measles was diagnosed on board, the island's chief medical officer said.
The international vessel-monitoring website MarineTraffic.com also showed that a Panamanian-flagged passenger ship identified as SMV Freewinds docked in port near the St. Lucia capital of Castries. The website indicated the ship was headed next to the island of Dominica.The Church of Scientology website describes the Tradewinds as a floating"religious retreat ministering the most advanced level of spiritual counseling in the Scientology religion." It says it's home port is Curacao.
Public health officials blame declining vaccination rates in some communities driven by misinformation about inoculation that has left those populations vulnerable to rapid spread of infection among those with no immunity to the virus. The vast majority of U.S. cases have occurred in children who have not received the three-way vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella , which confers immunity to the disease, officials said.
