Co-prime sponsored by state Reps. Bridget Kosierowski, D-Lackawanna, and Kristin Marcell, R-Bucks, the legislation would mandate food allergy and anaphylaxis training for childcare staff, emergency action planning, and access to medication like epinephrine. “As a nurse, I know how precious time is when someone is suffering an allergic reaction and how critical thorough training and available medication are at those key moments,” Kosierowski said. “This bill will provide critical training and medication so that day care workers can immediately identify the signs of an allergic reaction and provide life-saving medication like epinephrine. “As more and more hospitals are closing, the day care will have to replace the emergency room as the site where life-saving care is provided. This legislation will save lives.” Known as Elijah’s Law, the bill is named after 3-year-old Elijah Silvera who died from an allergic reaction to a dairy product he ingested at his day care. Following his son’s death, Thomas Silvera has advocated for the passage of Elijah’s Law that would require the education and provision of life-saving medicine to childcare workers and Read more
