Polio vaccines are vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio). 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 World Health Organization recommends all children be fully vaccinated against polio.
Oasis is a specialized facility just for individuals with dementia â much like a Womenâs Hospital specializes in meeting the unique healthcare needs of women, or a Childrenâs Hospital is the best place to care for children â Oasis has been carefully designed to provide a higher level of care for individuals with memory loss issues.
This program, and the OASIS, has evolved over time. The core data items were refined through several iterations of clinical and empirical research. Other items were added later by a work group of home care experts to augment the outcome data set with selected items deemed essential for patient assessment.
