Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Action Plan

This action plan shows an outline of recommended treatment during an allergic reaction. When my little one (LO) was starting Pre-K, I needed to educate her teacher and the teachers assistant about her allergies and what needs to be down in case of an allergic reaction. Since I had limited time to teach the staff I needed a simplified way of delivering the information effectively. Our allergist gave us an action plan for the school, however it was more geared towards the school nurse rather than the staff who has very limited medical background. There are several other action plans available online to be downloaded, they were very detailed, busy, and not easy to follow. In case of an emergency I needed a simple and straightforward plan for the staff.

This action plan is a simplified version of the FARE’s Emergency care plan. (Food Allergy Research & Education). If you need a detailed action plan created by allergy experts, please visit FARE’s site for more information. Please be advised that not all your child’s allergy symptom might be stated in this plan. This can be a life threatening emergency so I urge you to do the research and find the plan that best suits your families needs. You can also ask your child’s primary care provided for a School action plan on food allergy and anaphylaxis.
