Travel Vaccines Specialist (Dr. Mary Chaglassian)

Michael Aziz, MD

Primary Care Physician & Internist located in Midtown East, New York, NY

In our global world, over 1 million people travel internationally each day. In many underdeveloped countries, many vaccine-preventable diseases are still fairly common such as polio and measles. Without vaccines, epidemics of many preventable diseases could return to the US resulting in increased illness and even death. For this reason, vaccination before travel is imperative to ensure global public health. Dr. Chaglassian is committed to ensuring maximum immunization coverage for her patients in the Midtown East practice from children to the elderly.

Although vaccine-preventable disease levels in the United States have decreased significantly from historic highs, this fact does not mean diseases have disappeared.
