The Vaccine Bottle Cover Up
They're sobering statistics: daily, 18,000 children die from ailments such as diarrhoea, malaria, and pneumonia. Nearly half of that total dies before their first month. Add to the 800 moms who die daily from conditions including post-partum haemorrhage and infections, high blood pressure during pregnancy and unsafe abortions.
A number of these deaths can be prevented through low-cost, simple, often community-based solutions which enhance local health care, increase access and aid to deal with health inequities for women, children and adolescents. Working with its international partners, the Canadian Red Cross has made considerable contributions to saving lives in remote, impoverished regions by improving local health systems.
Canadian Red Cross plans to deal with women's and children's health have particularly proven critical in states affected by conflict and disaster, where lots of children and girls are cut off from essential health services. 
● Honduras: Urging men to have a greater role in preventing maternal and child mortality.
● Mali: Increasing number of newborns who received a healthcare visit by 19 per cent.
● Pakistan: providing thousands of messages encouraging girls to receive antenatal care.
● Syria: Supporting five nourishment centers to treat malnutrition in children.
All these include a metal lid, with rubber at the centre where the needle goes in to draw the liquid vaccination out. It just seems a pity to throw a lot of cool little bottles off, but they're not recyclable.
I'd be interested in taking these off anyone's hands to use for crafts. I didn't even think about asking my vet to get theirs but now I am likely to.
I use similar vaccine bottles for clay projects. I get them from my vets office. She's careful that which she gives me. I take them home and clean them up. They decorate them with polymer clay and then give them for bottles of hope. I put my own spin on it and contribute a few back to the vet for people who loose their pets. Vet and staff love it. Shops easily and keeps them protected.
