Abstract: A vaccine composition for animals susceptible to infection by canine distemper virus. The vaccine comprises a small but immunologically effective amount of an inactivated canine distemper virus in combination with a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable immunologic adjuvant. A preferred method of inactivation of canine distemper virus by either exposure of the virus to an inactivating effective amount of binary ethyleneimine or alternatively exposure of the virus to long wavelength ultraviolet light in the presence of a furocoumarin.

Abstract: The container of the present invention for storing and shipping syringes comprises a base with a plurality of ports, each adapted to receive a syringe, and a cover which fits over the syringes and locks onto the base. The base is made of insulative material so as to protect the medicinal fluid within the syringes from temperature extremes. The cover is transparent for easy identification of the contents. The sidewalls of the cover are corrugated to provide strength to the cover. The top of the cover and the bottom of the base are flat so that a plurality of containers can be stacked one upon another for shipping and storage.
