“Roll up your sleeves, Hollywood, because you’re all getting flu shots,” Ms. Oh said during the 76th annual awards show. On cue, a group of people in white lab coats walked through the audience holding syringes while LMFAO’s song “Shots” played in the background.

“If you are an anti-vaxxer, just put a napkin on — perhaps over — your head and we will skip you,” Mr. Samberg joked.

He said the flu shots were “from the Rite Aid at Echo Park” — a neighborhood in Los Angeles — but Vanity Fair later reported the vaccines were fake.
