Amendment to Regulation §136.7(f) Relating to Glucagon Administration in Schools by Trained Unlicensed School Personnel (NYSED 12/2021)
Effective April 27, 2022, Education Law §921 replaced the word “inject” with “administer,” permitting schools to train unlicensed school personnel to administer these new formulations of prescribed glucagon and reflects the current practice of utilizing a Department-approved course on glucagon administration, for an overview of diabetes and hypoglycemia, rather than a Department of Health approved webinar.
