Comments
One epi autoinjector cost about $90, if you can get a discount, and is good for 2 years. Schools will need one for the building and one to go on field trips, as well as a Junior and Regular dose for elementary schools.
25 vials of epi can be purchased for around $50.
You do the math, for yet another unfunded mandate in very trying budget times.
However, a lay perons will have difficulty and not want to learn how to draw this up.
Why not legislate that school nurses at the RN level are required in all Virginia public schools if we are really interested in the safety of our children.
