Prepackaged collections of the necessary devices and supplies (either custom or standard) designed for massive smallpox vaccination. Items in these kits usually include a sterile package with a lyophilized dry-vaccine vial and a diluent container (e.g., a prefilled syringe), transfer needles for use during liquid-vaccine reconstitution, and bifurcated needles for injection (scarification). These kits may be supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Smallpox vaccination procedure kits and trays include enough vaccine and a similar quantity of disposable bifurcated needles to immunize 100 or more individuals.
