I think this answer is two-fold. I believe that any responsible parent would insure that his/her child's school would have any necessary medication should there be any kind of allergic reaction by their child. I would; however, hope that the school would have the epi-pens on hand in the event that an allergic reaction happened and the child either did not have an epi-pen at school or had one that might be out-dated. I would hate to think that the school would not take necessary precautions for such an emergency. |
