Va., Md. bills would mandate having EpiPens on hand, training teachers

Daily Times, by Jennifer Shutt

[...]
In Maryland, Sen. Jim Mathias, D-38-Worcester, is sponsoring the legislation that could help teachers and school administrators understand the complexity of food allergies, the symptoms of anaphylactic shock and how to administer an EpiPen.

“A tremendous number of children and adolescents have serious allergies that they know of and some they don’t know of,” Mathias said.

“This bill would have (an EpiPen) there in case an allergic reaction happens while they are at school.”

[...]
If passed, the Maryland bill would put EpiPens in all public schools and allow trained school personnel to administer them when a student has an allergic reaction regardless of whether or not that student has had a previous allergy attack or if that student has a prescription for auto-inject epinephrine.

The pending legislation would also provide training for school personnel on the symptoms of anaphylaxis, teach personnel how to administer an EpiPen, require reporting on school use of auto-inject epinephrine and insulate school personnel against civil lawsuits as long as they use an EpiPen in good faith on a student who appears to be having a severe allergic reaction.

  • 1. · I am not necessarily opposed to this legislation, it should be considered. But I would pose a question. Aren't school nurses RNs?? And aren't RNs versed in proper use of epinephrine auto-injectors?? I would think they would be better at determining the appropriate use of said devices.
