Polio vaccine. Polio vaccines are vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio).[1] There are two types: one that uses inactivated poliovirus and is given by injection (IPV), and one that uses weakened poliovirus and is given by mouth (OPV).
The Hippocratic Oath. The Hippocratic Oath (Î¿ÏÎºÎ¿Ï) is perhaps the most widely known of Greek medical texts. It requires a new physician to swear upon a number of healing gods that he will uphold a number of professional ethical standards. It also strongly binds the student to his teacher and the greater community of physicians with responsibilities similar to that of a family member.
It is part of the protocol of the Opening Ceremony, and is taken by an athlete from the host country, on behalf of all the other athletes. The Oath is similar to the one sworn by the athletes at the ancient Olympic Games.The only difference is that now the athletes take the oath holding the Olympic flag rather than on the entrails of a sacrificial animal. The modern Olympic oath was written by Pierre de Coubertin.he Oath is similar to the one sworn by the athletes at the ancient Olympic Games.
