While we carry epi pens with us for our 9 year old grandson, we do it with the understanding that

“EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr® Auto-Injectors are for the emergency treatment of life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) caused by allergens, exercise, or unknown triggers; and for people who are at increased risk for these reactions. EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr® are intended for immediate administration as emergency supportive therapy only. Seek immediate emergency medical help right away”

Can’t do that while in flight.

I say this to let you know that epi pen use is to be followed by immediate emergency medical help. As I hate the long drive from Ohio to Florida, I am sorry my son has taken this stance but I understand his position. We will take our grandsons to and from Florida by car.
