Statewide standing order
No[NO]
Each entity establishes a protocol with a Connecticut-licensed prescriber.
How to get it in Connecticut
Two documents: a prescription in your organization's name, and a standing order saying when trained staff may use it.
- Everyone
- Connecticut does not issue a statewide standing order, so a prescriber signs yours. Any physician can, and in most states a nurse practitioner or PA can too.
Free medication, if you are a K-12 school
Connecticut permits nasal spray for undesignated stock use, so neffyinSchools applies here as well as EPIPEN4SCHOOLS. See both programs.
Then the devices
Buy standard auto-injectors through your usual pharmacy or medical supplier, which is what most organizations do.
