The priority in the event of anaphylaxis is to administer an AAI. If the child experiencing anaphylaxis has a prescribed AAI but this is not available, it is reasonable and appropriate to use another AAI so long as appropriate consents are in place – ideally, this will be a spare AAI held by the school. In an emergency, the most important thing is to administer an AAI without delay.
