Too many questions for fast-track!
 

There will be many questions from licensed child care programs. This should be moved to a standard notice-and-comment process. There will be questions:

  • Training for a stock epi-pen - all the logistics of it; will this be added to MAT training in the future
  • Parent/guardian consent for us to administer

  • Cost and covering the cost of epi-pens (especially if they are unused and then they expire)
