I think you're underestimating the motivation and ability of vamps and werewolves to hide among the population. (As does much fic.) Uncertainty about who is and isn't one would seriously undermine humanity's efforts.

On the zombies, most fix has a hopelessly unrealistic model of population dynamics. Am mobile atm so can't cite, but ISTR the literature backs mr up here - there's a chance but we have to hit hard and quickly. We'll never believe the threat in time.

Once people believed there _were_ Vampires/Werewolves they'd find it impossible to hide. We'd have mandatory registration and testing within days.

I shall look forward to your future comment about zombies - so far as I can see, the number of bodies which would be mobile are quite slim. They also move slowly and are reasonably easily disabled. Fast zombies/Infected are, of course, a different matter.

In days a registration scheme set up? Ha ha ha ha ha! Two weeks is still optimistic. And testing is going to take a long, long time. And a foolproof scheme can't be done. Look at the TSA no-fly list, or CRB checks.
