Asthma, Respiratory
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (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 or stock of emergency asthma medicine, such as albuterol, on hand.
