Flickering across television screens, transmitted over the radio waves, and occasionally flashed as Internet advertising, a public service announcement regarding the H5N10, and for the most part, it's the same information that the city has been exposed to lately: get safe and get vaccinated, if you are an Evolved (whether manifested or not).
It features a young man with blonde hair, and the caption reads 'Jordan Baxter — Evolved — NYPD'. He has a very nice smile, and the ad has a mess of editing to splice his lines together.
"Get safe, and get vaccinated. This is a message we want to send to all Evolved, manifested and un-manifested, so that they can avoid contracting the H5N10, an influenza that has become a persistent problem — but it doesn't have to be. Vaccination is available to all Registered Evolved, six-months-old and over, at all hospitals and most clinics. Simply call your local doctor for information about the H5N10 vaccination and where you can get it.
"If you already have the H5N10, or you know someone who does, you are encouraged to call this special 5-10 Hot-line," a phone number scrolls across the bottom of the screen, "and you will be be put in contact with your closest hospital staffed especially to provide treatment and care for anyone suffering from the Evolved flu."
This has been a message from the Department of Evolved Affairs and the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
