Abstract: A domed, cup shaped, clear, non-crushable, vented with holes or openings, to place over the healing pustule of the vaccination site for smallpox, is provided as a protective dressing to prevent touch by clothing or hands, and to restrict the risk of dissemination of the viral particles from the moist healing pustule, to scatter or aerosolize from the vaccination site. The cover is formed of non-crushable plastic with 2 side projections (phalanges) to be used to tape the dome securely to the skin. The cover is single use, disposable, environmentally safe, and economical. The cover is clear allowing daily inspection of the healing site without removal of the dressing, thus disturbing the healing process. The cover is non-crushable preventing clothing, hands or any other source touch the the site of the vaccination. The cover allows safe bathing or showering.
