Hi doctors. i am fully vaccinated. i just saw on the news that people on a fully vaccinated cruise got covid...should i reconsider taking a cruise until things change? any suggestions please? i'm concerned?

Fully vaccinated people may get infection but are protected from any serious health consequences. Cruises expose a person to a whole lot of other infections, due to overcrowding, e.g. influenza, common cold, Norovirus and the like. If you are otherwise healthy, a cruise is a low risk activity. Wish you good health!

If you are fully vaccinated I would go on the cruise but I would treat other passengers as if they were infectious and wear a mask whenever with people and practice social distancing. Good Luck
