The museum readily agreed. This is the first vaccination site in the state run by the National Guard. We re super excited. The vials we use here were made in Corning, Borghi said. The vaccine is what is going to be what gets us out of this. Usually we do patches or some metallic coin. This was a different opportunity. I m not aware of any other glass coins out there.
The federal government last June selected Corning Inc. to manufacture glass vials to package vaccines and other critical drugs used to counteract the coronavirus.
The Corning Museum of Glass worked with Tobeyco Manufacturing Co., a Corning-based machine shop, to fabricate a stamp, highlighting the Valor Glass vials, for the glass coins.
