The decision to administer an EpiPen without any background doctor's note or a parent's directions on the Child Record Form about known allergies is a risk no child care provider would like to take. This is like requiring all teachers to carry guns to combat a killer in schools. This requirement of keeping an EPIPen ready to use in a first-time epipen-requiring situation is like rookies making mistakes and causing more harm based on their judgment, which may be totally skewed. Why not ban the common food items causing common allergies from childcare menus? It’s a big NO to this proposal.
