Fake Pox Outbreak to Test Public Health Readiness

ANN ARBOR – College students, Washtenaw County public health officials and emergency management personnel will take part in an exercise to test readiness for a disease outbreak. The University of Michigan says the event is scheduled Saturday at the Kipke Center on the school's Ann Arbor Campus.

Epidemiology associate professor Eden Wells says the objective is "to test mass vaccination plans and response" to a public health threat.
