Nationwide Epipen Shortage As New School Year Begins

A national Epipen shortage remains unresolved as kids return to class for the new school year.

A recent Food Allergy & Research Education survey shows eight out of ten people said they couldn't fill prescriptions for life-saving epinephrine.  

Officials say that if you're affected by the shortfall, visit Healthmart.com to find an independent pharmacy that might have Epipens in stock or ask your doctor to prescribe a different brand.  

In an emergency, experts suggest using your expired auto injector if it's all you have and then call 9-1-1 to get followup treatment.
