Asthma Quick-Relief Medicines in Schools\u200b<\/h2>\n

AAFA supports school policies that promote access to life-saving medicines to treat students and staff who experience asthma attacks or severe allergic reactions. Since 2012, most states have passed laws that allow or require schools to keep a supply of epinephrine auto-injectors for use in allergy emergencies. States should also allow schools to keep a supply of emergency asthma medicine, such as albuterol, on hand.<\/p>\n

AAFA encourages states to adopt policies that promote access to medicine and protect students and staff. This includes supplying schools with quick-relief medicines, such as albuterol inhalers, to be used in emergencies, appropriately training school personnel,\u202fand addressing liability concerns for those who use this medicine in good faith.<\/p>\n
