  Students and Medication at School Does your child's school permit students with asthma to carry and use inhalers at school? What about auto-injectable epinephrine? Asthma and allergies can happen any time, anywhere – in the classroom, on the playground, or in the lunchroom – so it's important for students to have immediate access to these lifesaving medications at all times.Dark blue states in our map below have passed laws allowing students with asthma and anaphylaxis to carry and use prescribed medications at school. (Read state legislation by clicking on a state name in one of the charts below.) Light blue and red show states where we still have work to do! Do you live in one of these red or light blue states? Write or call your state representatives or department of education and tell them you want a law that protects your child at school. AANMA's online Advocacy Center makes it easy!
