Vermont schools gain more emergency allergy options

Beginning July 1, 2025, Vermont public and approved independent schools may stock more types of emergency epinephrine devices. These must be FDA-approved, single-use devices with a premeasured dose, but need not be auto-injectors. Schools may obtain them free, at reduced prices, or at fair market prices. This authority covers school grounds, school-sponsored activities, school-provided transportation, and school-related programs. A health care professional must prescribe the devices to the school and issue a standing order. That order must explain how to recognize and respond to life-threatening allergic reactions, provide care afterward, and dispose of devices. School nurses and trained, authorized employees, agents, or volunteers may give epinephrine following a student's allergy plan in school health records. Under the standing order, they may also treat students or others they believe in good faith are having a life-threatening allergic reaction, even without that person's prescription. State Board policies must require nurses and designated personnel to receive training in storage, administration, and recognizing and responding to reactions. Designated personnel also need authorization from the school administrator or delegation from the school nurse. School nurses have liability protection for administering epinephrine or allowing self-administration, except for intentional misconduct.
