It was then determined that a staff #2 should administer the child's prescribed epinephrine pen. Symptoms immediately subsided once the epinephrine was given. An adult#2 and emergency services arrived and child #1 was transported to CHOC. It was determined from interview that from onset of first symptoms to administration of epinephrine device, was approximately 18 to 20 minutes. Child #1 has since returned to care at the facility.
