The proposed regulations would allow flu shots and medication to young children.

ONTARIO - Ontario pharmacists could soon be able to prescribe flu medication and administer flu shots to babies over one year old.

The Ministry of Health is looking for feedback for the new draft regulations and there will be a two-week comment period.

With the cold and flu season fast approaching, Health Minister Sylvia Jones will be releasing a fall preparedness plan with Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore.
