Urine and vomit spill pack, GV Health, batch 13494, expiry date May 2023, of the type used at the Science Museum NHS COVID-19 vaccination centre, 2021

As a vaccination centre, staff and volunteers had to be prepared to deal with minor incidents. This included any spills of bodily fluids such as urine or vomit. Spill kits like this one contain packets of absorbent granules to soak up fluids with mimimal contact. Clinical waste bags, gloves and an apron and surface wipes are all included to protect the kit's user and to clean the area.

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.
