several suspected cases emerged among the ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There, sailors were tested, and infected personnel and their close contacts were placed in isolation, according to U.S. 5th Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While in port, more than half the crew opted to receive the first dose of Moderna\u2019s COVID vaccine and those members have been allotted the second vaccine, according to a command statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The COVID vaccines remain voluntary for military members since they have been approved
