Wow I went to meet with Jacob's teacher yesterday and much to my amazment she has a child who is allergic to apples and he has an epi-pen. She knows how to use it. Also another child needs to have a full time nurse in the classroom with him so she will be there. I know this doesn't solve the problem but I feel a bit safer. Now I need to talk to the principal about him carrying his shot. Once that is done the battle is over. Hopefully. Good luck with the firstday of school and stay safe.
Almost there

Jacobsmom,
Sounds great! Ther is a boy in my daughters class who has a full time aide and it is just nice to have another set of eyes in the room. I know their job is to watch the other kids but every little bit helps.
Good Luck!

This makes me feel much safer that and the fact that the teacher really did her best to reassure me. I have more good news but will post another post.
I am glad for you. I just had to say, however, WOW an epi-pen for apples. My daughter is allergic to apples. First of all, never met anyone else allergic to them, let alone needing an epi.
