[quote=Anonymous]OP here. From what I understand, many schools and daycare facilities are not willing to administer the epi-pen. The issue is liability. Those that do, or at least the ones I found policies for online, all require formal training. Many ambulances do not carry epi-pens either, so a person calling 911 would have to indicate that they are calling about an allergic reaction to ensure the EMT had one on arrival. So, although I don't think the pen would be very difficult to use, I am hesitant to assume I know more then he schools, daycares, and emergency response teams who decline to administer epi-pen. If anyone has been employed one of the aforementioned facilities and knows a bit about the risks, I would be glad to hear it![/quote]
