The Associate Health Minister's praising a proposal to offer free flu jabs to more people. 

Pharmac's looking at providing the jabs to an extra 260 thousand children between six months and five-years-old from next year. 

It's also proposing introducing two new brands for over 65s.  

David Seymour told Mike Hosking some young people still die every year from influenza, and as every parent knows, they also spread it around the household.  

He says the cost-benefit of this stacks up, and it's a great thing for Pharmac to be looking into.  

Consultation opens mid-June.
