For schools stocking epinephrine
EpiPens4Schools has adjusted its system to allow Washington schools to receive autoinjectors directly when placing orders. The Epinephrine Standing Order FAQs have been updated with this information:
All epinephrine should be picked up directly by school staff or delivered to the school. If using a free or discounted epinephrine autoinjector program, make sure the program delivers the autoinjectors directly to your schools and not to the Dept. of Health.
If you choose to utilize the EpiPens4Schools Program, you must upload the full standing order document (which includes a prescription) into the Valid Prescription portion of the order form. (Do not upload the standing order into the Standing Order section.)
