From Wikipedia
Vaccine (or sometimes vaksin) are rudimentary single-note trumpets found in Haiti and, to a lesser extent, the Dominican Republic as well as Jamaica. They consist of a simple tube, usually bamboo, with a mouthpiece at one end.
They are thus also referred to as banbou or bambú, as well as bois bourrique (or bwa bourik), granboe, fututo, or boom pipe. They are not to be confused with other Haitian handmade trumpets called konè or klewon, made of a yard-long white metal tube with a flared horn, called kata.
