: Last weekend, I got my wilderness first aid certification. Here in Canada, we
: can buy an epi-pen without a prescription and people trained in WFA can
: give the injections to others in wilderness settings only. (Actually, it's
: much cheaper to buy vials of epinephrine and give injections with standard
: syringes, so we learned to do that as well.) Our trainers warned us it
: could be illegal for us to adminster epinephrine to others in some
: American states.: Does anyone know if Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and NY state allow WFA
: folks to carry syringes and inject epinephrine?: Pamela
