: The recommendation requires further analysis. Although we acknowledge the legal and practical issue of supplying Epipens for field trips and other off-site school events, the current Epipen4 Schools program supplies a maximum of two Pens per school site. In addition, if one or more of these two Epipens is taken on all field trips, etc., there is a concern that there will not be a pen available to a student who is on the school campus and experiences an anaphylactic reaction. Also, there are many incidences where more than one class or grade level is on a field trip on the same day. A partial...
