Strongly opposed
 

I would never expect, nor do I want, my daycare provider to make a medical decision and administer Epinephrine to my child in a suspected allergy attack. My daycare provider can call 911 and allow a medical professional to make that decision and administer an epi-pen on the spot. Wrongful administration could lead to a whole other layer of issues that I do not want to lay in the hands of my daycare provider. I strongly oppose.
