Disposable cardboard kidney bowl, of the type used at Science Museum NHS COVID-19 vaccination centre, 2021
Thrown away after use, kidney bowls are so-called because of their shape. They are used to hold different material and equipment for vaccination.
After weeks of careful planning and installation, the NHS COVID-19 Vaccination Centre at the Science Museum first welcomed people to receive their COVID-19 vaccine on 11 March 2021. Run by NHS staff and volunteers, the clinic delivered over 122,000 doses to people over the course of a year. People had to pre-book their appointments when invited by the NHS. When the clinic first opened, the museum was closed to visitors but reopened on 19 May 2021 for five days a week.
