The vaccine is dispensed from a viral. The viral may have been frozen, thawed and then used to fill multiple sterile syringes.

This is routine in clinics where the people coming in are being vaccinated several times/hour for the same thing. It allows the clinic to serve more patients in an efficient manner.
