County residents over the age of 3 who are medically eligible can receive the 2013 seasonal flu vaccine at the drill. Those under 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

In a change from past years events, officials are asking resident to leave bags and personal items at home or in their car. The new security measure is going into effect this year due to the large amount of people gathered in one place, which could pose a ripe target for those wanting to cause chaos.

The county will also hold the drill Saturday at locations in Northampton, Doylestown and Souderton.
