Progress Made on Vaccine for So-Called ‘Cruise Ship' Virus

The cruise ship virus is a norovirus that exhibits symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. This type of virus is common where people live in close quarters and eat together, including cruise ships. Children and senior citizens are at the highest risk of contracting the virus. The vaccine looks very promising to researchers, but it is still a long way from becoming on the market. There is a need for the vaccine because it is highly contagious.
