Anaphylaxis / EpiPen (Auto-Injector) Policy

Our staff is trained in the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis and the administration of EpiPens. Staff
will ensure that anyone suffering an allergic reaction will be treated and enabled to access emergency
services promptly.

Parent or legal guardian is required to fill out an Authorization to Administer Medication form for each
participant requiring an EpiPen. Additionally an Action Plan must be completed by the participant’s
physician. The original will be kept in the office and a copy will be given to the supervisor of the
program the participant is attending. EpiPen must be in a clearly marked bag with participants name
on it and the medication should be in its original container with the pharmacy label, which shows the
date of filling, pharmacy name and address, the filling pharmacist’s initials, the serial number of the
prescription, the name of the patient, name of prescribing practitioner, name of prescribed medication,
directions for use and cautionary statements, if any, contained in such a prescription or required by
law. The EpiPen should be stored in a cooled lunch bag / container and given to the program director
upon arrival at the program. The EpiPen will be kept in a designated area on site.
The Parks and Recreation Department will not administer epinephrine unless and until a fully
completed Authorization Form and Action Plan is provided, regardless of whether or not an EpiPen is
provided in advance by or on behalf of the parent/guardian.


The program director is responsible for making sure all staff are aware of the location of EpiPen. The
designated EpiPen location should be kept out of reach of program participants
