Summary Lead

http://columbian.com/article/20090915/NEWS02/709159961


"More than half the county's public health staff rolled up their sleeves Monday afternoon to get vaccinated against seasonal influenza."


This is a good example of a summary lead in that it describes what the news article is about in one sentence. It gives the Who- county public health staff, the What- getting vaccinated for seasonal influenza, the Where- Clark County, the Why- to protect against seasonal influenza, and the When- Monday afternoon. This sum's up a preview of what the story will be about making it a great example of a summary lead.
