Anaphylaxis Awareness and EpiPen<br />

Training<br />

As part of the anaphylaxis awareness in the<br />

Polish community program, Dr. Szpindor<br />

has been organizing workshops on anaphylaxis<br />

and how to use injectable epinephrine<br />

EpiPen for the Polish community since<br />

2010. The workshops took place at the Polish<br />

National Alliance Headquarters, the<br />

Copernicus Center, and in Polish Saturday<br />

schools. During the workshops, the participants<br />

receive a folder with information<br />

on anaphylaxis, allergies, asthma, and two<br />

EpiPen demo units to take back to their<br />

school or organization. They are also instructed<br />

how to use the folder to teach others<br />

how to respond effectively to an allergic<br />

emergency.<br />

The goal of the anaphylactic awareness in<br />

the Polish community program is to increase<br />

anaphylaxis awareness in more than<br />

60 Polish schools, 16,500 Polish students,<br />

more than 1,000 teachers and religious instructors,<br />

church groups, dance groups, and<br />

thousands of parents.<br />
