Statewide standing order

No[NO]

No statewide order, but practitioner authorization by audio or televideo is allowed.

Fla. Stat. §381.885(4)

No source on file; treat as unverified.

How to get it in Florida

Two documents: a prescription in your organization's name, and a standing order saying when trained staff may use it.

Everyone
Florida 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

Florida 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.
