BlueCuddle just brought this to my attention, and I think it is worth a peek.

Residents can get $50 for swine flu shot

With the cash for clunkers program now kaput, Uncle Sam is offering a smaller cash incentive in Somerville and nine other US cities.

The federal Center for Disease Control (CDC) is hosting a swine flu forum on Saturday at the Center for Arts at the Armory on Highland Avenue. The event is open to 100 residents, and those who preregister will receive a $50 stipend.

The forum runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and includes a catered lunch. Residents will join focus groups throughout the day, discussing a possible swine flu vaccination program nationwide and other strategies for containing the pandemic.

The article doesn't specifically mention that the flu shots will be part of the forum, but the title does. Either way, it's a frigtening tactic. Who can resist free lunch and money for nothing more than a shot and a couple hours time?
