Half of migrants piling into NYC not vaxxed for polio, top doc warns
By Carl Campanile April 16, 2023
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 there’ve 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.

Equally important is helping migrants apply for public health insurance since they’re mostly eligible despite their undocumented or uncertain immigration status, pending asylum applications.
Children under age 18 are eligible for the Child Health Plus public health insurance program, regardless of immigration status.
Pregnant women are eligible for Medicaid, regardless of immigration status and paroled immigrants — those allowed to temporarily love or work in the US — may be eligible for public health insurance.
Others will at least qualify for Emergency Medicaid, which pays medical costs like hospital admission and treatment.
