Strongly Oppose
 

We strongly oppose that unassigned epipens be kept at our school/childcare center. We already have MAT certified personnel and adequate procedures in place for the use of epipens in the event of an allergic reaction.  The parents of the children should be responsible for providing epipens if needed.  This would place even more unnecessary responsibility, expense and liability on childcare providers.

Respectfully,

Carol Gardner
