Would you do this?

If you heard an emergency siren blare out that there was a pandemic and you need to go to a drive-thru flu clinic to get a shot, would you go by? What if you knew it was a simulation? Would you do it just for the free shot or to make the simulation work?

Local hospitals were full and medical supplies were running low, according to the simulation. State officials declared a mock emergency and ordered the vaccination of as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. In the Fredericksburg area, health officials participated in the exercise by scheduling a real-life, drive-through flu clinic. Those interested were told to roll down their car windows and roll up their sleeves for a free shot. The state Health Department supplied 400 doses of flu vaccine.
