I am in disbelief that this would even be considered. Use of an epipen is the absolute last route anyone would go in treating a child who may be experiencing an allergic reaction. We follow a very strict action plan that has been issued to our staff by the individual child's physician. Where is the legal protection going to come from when someone incorrectly administers an epipen to the wrong weight or when a child isn't truly experiencing a reaction? Where is the money going to come from in order to pay for these ever-expiring pens and the training for staff to administer them? Also just the amount of pens that would be needed to cover the vast amount of weight discrepancies that a school with two year olds-five year olds would have is mind boggling.  We are a small school and our budget is already tight. We paid over $1000 dollars to have our staff MAT certified, another $1500 for CPR/first aid, both of which have to be renewed every couple of years and anytime a staff member is replaced or added. The very idea of having the enormous amount of pens purchased by all of the preschools and other childcare facilities is not only not cost-effective and wasteful, but would also create a burden on pharmacies to be able to keep it in stock for people who truly need it. Who is benefiting from putting this cost and liability on the people who care for young children? It certainly isn't the childcare facilities who are already doing everything they can to hire the best staff and provide the highest level of care. Take this burden off of us please.
