I will pass your comments on to my contact there. I'll keep you posted on their response!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591880646831697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-80134919540182315872013-02-09T14:00:35.095-05:002013-02-09T14:00:35.095-05:00We have both my 13 year old son loves the Auvi-Q. ...We have both my 13 year old son loves the Auvi-Q. But we still have the Epi-pens at school. I live in LA which no longer has school nurses for each school. The teachers were trained on Epi-pens and all the school district paperwork references the Epi-Pen. When I requested an extra trainer for the Auvi-Q for my son's school, the Auvi-Q customer service refused. They said they would only give them to medical offices. They refuse to sell or give me one. You were given extra trainers but not me. So I have nothing to train the teachers or the district. If I give them the one trainer I have, I will never get it back. The schools already have Epi-pen trainers. This seems very short sighted on Sanfi's part. Also I am concerned that EMT's will not recognize the Auvi-Q as an epinephrine injector. I have my son carrying it when he is out with his friends. I have trained his friends in the new injector. I see an up hill battle with getting it into my son's school. These are things I didn't think about when I got the new injector. My son is in the second largest school district in the country. Unless Auvi-Q addresses school training, etc. we will be using Epi-pens in the future irregardless of liking the new injector.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439731177317217436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-34193750388485016002013-02-09T10:30:32.432-05:002013-02-09T10:30:32.432-05:00We now have both.We now have both.Lisa Rutternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-23446069846468299352013-02-09T10:16:07.956-05:002013-02-09T10:16:07.956-05:00What a fantastic post!

The Auvi-Q for my son and the Epi Pen for my daughter.<br /><br />My school district nurses were attending an Auvi-Q<br /> training and I had a meeting with the school district planned until both kids spiked with fevers. Hopefully I can speak to the district next week. I'm very curious about their opinions and plans.Gratefulfoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485736171544867945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192565923570468744.post-80000198499997934522013-02-08T14:20:42.170-05:002013-02-08T14:20:42.170-05:00thought I would share this with you.
