Ambulatory: Epinephrine kits vs. Epinephrine Auto-Injectors

Hello ~
(two questions coming to you today!)

First is this (in light of the epi auto-injector shortage):
In your Ambulatory/Outpatient spaces (if you have oversight) - do you currently stock EpiPens (or the generic auto-injectors) or do you supply epinephrine anaphylaxis kits (with the vial and instructions for dosing)?

Would you be willing to share your kit / label design and any additional safety measures / training that you have in place for staff, if you are currently stocking providing epi kits to the clinics?

Thanks so much in advance!
Emily
