Important information regarding Neffy in the school setting

Newark, NJ
Essex County School Nurses Association

Please see this summary of important key points regarding Neffy from our State School Nurse Consultant, Lorraine Borek, MEd., RN CSN-NJ:

  • School nurses in New Jersey are permitted to administer Neffy with a valid order from a licensed healthcare provider.

  • School nurses in New Jersey may only delegate epinephrine auto-injectors, therefore Neffy may not be delegated.

  • Changes in the law to allow the delegation of single dose units of epinephrine (removing auto-injector) have not been passed by the legislature.

  • If there is a change to the law, districts will be notified at that time.

Our thanks to Lorraine Borek for clarifying this important information. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
