Pharmacists Handed More Power

The province is introducing changes to give pharmacists the power to offer services usually handled by doctors.
Starting today pharmacists will be able to give out flu shots, and will be paid $7.50 for each shot they administer.
Pharmacists can also now write a new prescription for products that help people stop smoking.
And payment details are currently being worked out with the
province to allow pharmacists to renew existing prescriptions, except for narcotics, and make dosage adjustments.
