Best Answer

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.
