I oppose
 

I am the director of a non-profit organization in Harrisonburg, VA. I strongly oppose 

  • Requiring each child day center to implement policies for the possession and administration of epinephrine that requires at least one school nurse, employee at the center, or employee of a local health department who is authorized by a prescriber and trained in the administration of epinephrine has the means to access at all times during regular facility hours any such appropriate weight-based dosage of epinephrine that is stored in a locked or otherwise generally inaccessible container or area. 

Childcare centers do not have the financial means and do not have the trained professionals on staff at all times incase epinephrine would need to be administered. This responsibility should not be placed on childcare programs.
