(Ardmore-AP) -- Southern Oklahoma health employees were given mock vaccinations Friday in a bioterrorism response drill.

Between 400 and 700 people volunteered at Ardmore High School Friday morning to be mock ``victims.''

Nurses, emergency medical technicians, firefighters and community members practiced treating the people.

Carter, Love, Johnston, Marshall and Jefferson counties were involved.

Richard Coble on the local Emergency Planning Committee says the drill will let workers look at the bioterrorism response plan and figure out how to make it better.
