Epi Pen Revision to Standards- STRONGLY OPPOSE
 

I am deeply concerned about this policy and the well-being of the children attending preschool/child care centers. This amendment would expect childcare staff to determine when and how much Epinephrine should be administered. Childcare centers are not medical professionals; administering Epinephrine incorrectly poses significant medical risks. More information needs to be gathered before implementing this policy.
