oppose the decision of use of epi pen
 

I am day care provider and I feel this is not a right decision as all the teachers are not fully trained and it is not cost effective. Moreover since we are not medically trained we will not be able to tell the difference whether the child needs epi pen or benadryl.

I am not in favor of epi pen in day cares.

Thanks
