Vermont H0209 allows schools to stock epinephrine auto-injectors and intranasal epinephrine for managing life-threatening allergies.

Vermont H0209 amends state law to facilitate the management of life-threatening allergies in schools. The bill allows health care professionals to prescribe epinephrine auto-injectors and intranasal epinephrine for schools, which can maintain a stock supply of these products. School nurses and designated personnel can administer these products to students based on individualized allergy management plans. The State Board must adopt policies for managing students with life-threatening allergies, including protocols for responding to allergic reactions and training requirements for school staff.
