Strongly opposed
 

This is a poorly thought out rule. It will cause unnecessary financial strain to every center. We cannot afford to buy three new epi pens every year that we probably won’t need. We already are required to keep up with every epi pen already prescribed to our students. How am I supposed to know how much a child weighs in order to properly administer a dose. I’m also supposed to know a child is having a reaction requiring an epi pens
