There is a real concern for businesses operating Childcare Services regarding General Liability coverage for administering an EpiPen to a child that does not have a prescription and an action plan from a Physician.  If Childcare Providers cannot obtain General Liability coverage for administering an EpiPen under these new circumstances, THEY COULD NO LONGER OPERATE. Although we have at least 1 or more children at each of our sites that have a prescription for an EpiPen and we are trained to administer the EpiPen, in over 17 years of operation and 1000’s of children under our care, we have never had to administer an EpiPen. In most action plans, Benadryl is the first step for a reaction. The Cost for operating Childcare services is already high enough and this just another cost that will burden Childcare facilities and ultimately parents and Guardians. If the Department of Education feels this is so important, then they should pay for the cost of the EpiPen.
