A vial is typically a small container with a stopper or way to open and close it. An ampule is typically sealed after filling and is not designed to be reused once broken into.

Many vaccines come in ampules, with a sealed cover that can be punctured with a hypodermic needle to draw out the liquid. Some ampules such as smelling salts are designed to be crushed to release gas or aromas.

Yes, there is a difference between a vial and an ampule. A vial is a small glass or plastic bottle with a rubber stopper for sealing, typically used for storing liquids such as medication. An ampule, on the other hand, is a small sealed glass container that is designed to be broken open to access the contents, typically used for storing sterile solutions or medications.
