The current PMAT course does not meet the needs of programs that only administer medication in emergency situations.  I ask that the current PMAT course is changed to include not only the administration of the EpiPen, but also the administration of Benadryl.  There is a disconnect between what the PMAT course provides and what doctors are prescribing for emergency medication.  Because many physicians are now prescribing Benadryl BEFORE administering an EpiPen as part of their plan, programs are required to take the MAT course in order to comply with regulations.  MAT certified trainers are limited, the program is not cost effective but cost prohibitive.  Please consider changing the PMAT course to include administration of Benadryl in order for preschool programs to continue serving ALL children with serious allergies.
