225 ILCS 10/5.11: Plan for anaphylactic shock.

The Department of Early Childhood shall require each licensed early care and education center, early care and education home, and group early care and education home to have a plan for anaphylactic shock to be followed for the prevention of anaphylaxis and during a medical emergency resulting from anaphylaxis. The plan should be based on the guidance and recommendations provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics relating to the management of food allergies or other allergies. The plan should be shared with parents or guardians upon enrollment at each licensed early care and education center, early care and education home, and group early care and education home. If a child requires specific specialized treatment during an episode of anaphylaxis, that child's treatment plan should be kept by the staff of the early care and education center, early care and education home, or group early care and education home and followed in the event of an emergency. Each licensed early care and education center, early care and education home, and group early care and education home shall have at least one staff member present at all times who has taken a training course in recognizing and responding to anaphylaxis.
