The New Brunswick government is considering the elimination of free flu shots for certain high risk groups as part of ongoing departmental cutbacks.
The Health Department says the groups include people with chronic illness, pregnant women, close contacts of those individuals and parents with children under the age of six.
The province also wants to eliminate payment for non-surgical treatment of skin lesions.
A spokeswoman says delisting the two items could save the province about one (m) million dollars a year.
