Public Health Risk Solved

The Canadians have convinced the captain that he should contact the health authorities before allowing anyone ashore since there may be a risk of spreading the German’s hepatitis, so the captain anchors offshore until some medical people come out. When they eventually come aboard they don’t have the necessary hepatitis vaccine to give shots to the passengers and crew, but they do have plenty of smallpox vaccine so they give everybody a shot of that and we all allowed to go ashore.
