Statewide standing order

Unconfirmed[UNCONFIRMED]

No source on file; treat as unverified.

How to get it in West Virginia

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

Everyone
West Virginia 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.

Then the devices

Buy standard auto-injectors through your usual pharmacy or medical supplier, which is what most organizations do.
