AAAAI Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology's one-page plan tells caregivers at school, camp or work what to do if a patient at risk of anaphylaxis reacts. It lists the patient's allergies, asthma status, other health problems and current medications, the symptoms of anaphylaxis by body system, and the epinephrine product and dose to inject in the thigh before calling 911.

Who completes it

The patient's physician completes the plan and signs it with the date and a phone number. A parent also signs for patients under 18.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Give the completed plan to the patient or parent to share with the school, camp or workplace.

  • The plan warns that asthma inhalers and antihistamines can't be depended on in anaphylaxis, and that throat, lung and heart symptoms can be life-threatening.
  • Marking asthma as present flags the patient as high risk for a severe reaction; the plan also asks for other health problems and concurrent medications.
  • The current edition is dated April 2026. AAAAI also points schools to the AAP Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan and to its stock epinephrine toolkit.
