  NOT ALL VIALS ARE CREATED EQUAL.
  
  Dozens of recent outbreaks have been associated with reuse of single-dose vials and misuse of multiple-dose vials. As a result of these incidents, patients have suffered significant harms, including death. CDC and the One & Only Campaign urge healthcare providers to recognize the differences between single-dose and multiple-dose vials and to understand appropriate use of each container type.
