Small children prioritised in 'critical' EpiPen shortage

摘要

Supplies of adrenaline auto-injectors for children are now "critical" and are being rationed with new national guidance for community pharmacists being introduced across England. Children who weigh 25kg or less who have the "greatest short-term need" should have first call on any 150 μg adrenaline auto-injector products available, according to the new protocol from the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC).
