First off, the financial burden and liability are top items to consider. How can we administer an Epi-pen to a daycare child when they have not been diagnosed with an allergy in the first place. This clearly needs to have a doctor's diagnosis and prescription. I don't want to mistakenly give one of my daycare kids an epi-pen shot when perhaps they have a negative reaction or the symptoms they show were not allergy related. 

This is ridiculous to require any daycare to buy and stock epi-pens. We are an industry that is known for low pay, and now you want us to buy expensive epi-pens as well. Are all schools required to stock epi-pens? No!! Are there any other places that are required to stock epi-pens just to have them in case of an emergency? NO!! So why should we have to bear this burden.
