Yeah, so this was a walk-in 12-year-old. He has known allergies. He just left the doctor getting his allergy shot and now he's having allergic reaction. His father told me that the protocol usually is if he gets an allergic reaction after his shot, he has an epipen and he likes to administer it and then have EMS come this way.
