[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All FCPS have Narcan and staff trained to administer it.

Even elementary schools. [/quote]

Yes, so can we get numbers on how often it is administered?[/quote]

No.  This is not going to be released to the public.  Period.  [/quote]

Why? Why can’t FCPS say this year we administer x number of doses? Seems simple and easy for accounting purposes. It would give an indication of the problem’s scope within the district. Not disclosing it will lead to wild assumptions.

My uneducated guess is that administering Narcan is probably considered an emergency healthcare treatment, like using an Epipen, and you are not allowed to publish that specific info to the public because of privacy laws and such.[/quote]

OMG. A summary at the district level of how many doses were dispensed will not violate privacy at any level.

January x doses acquired, y doses administered
February x , y
March x , y

No personally identifiable info needs to be shared.[/quote]
