A startling 50% of migrants streaming into the Big Apple are not vaccinated against the contagious and potentially deadly poliovirus, city Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan recently revealed as he urged doctors to help prevent a public health emergency, The Post has learned.
Vasan also said the new migrants come from, or pass through, countries with high rates of infectious tuberculosis and noted thereve been outbreaks of chickenpox in shelters housing the newcomers.
More than 50,000 people have come to New York City (NYC) in the past year shortly after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. As more people arrive and many make NYC their home, the scale and scope of need continues to grow, Vasan said in an eight-page letter, dated April 11, sent to physicians and other health care providers. A copy was obtained by The Post.
I am writing now to underscore how critical it is that health care providers take a wide range of considerations into account when working with people who are seeking asylum The scope of this letter represents the scale of the need. It is incumbent upon us as a welcoming city to comprehensively evaluate and meet these needs.
Vasan said screening and vaccinating migrants for diseases and viruses thatve been kept in check in the city is a top priority.
Vaccination rates for certain diseases are low in some of the most common countries of origin, with rates hovering around 50% for polio as an example, the commissioner said.
Lol, I highly doubt this is what he's referring to, but yeah, the increasing rate of tuberculosis in this city is very alarming. The issue is that there aren't medical facilities on the border checking for any of this. So many are not vaccinated and the city is unable to handle that. There was a report yesterday talking about how difficult it is to control.

Yeah, they took the jobs you didn't want you spoiled fuck
This is capitalist BS. Plenty of Americans do these job, just look at sanitation in NYC.
The issue has always been not enough pay and benefits. The reason it's not an issue with sanitation in NYC is because they're paid very well.
