The city's wording

Epi auto injector Not provided, Not maintained or expired.

This is the text DOHMH or the state attaches to the citation. It is a template, so it can sound harsher or vaguer than the finding behind it.

Worth asking the center

Where is the auto-injector kept, and who is trained to use it?

Reading it on a record

Look at whether the citation is marked open or corrected, how long ago it was cited, and whether the same section shows up on several inspections. One corrected citation is common. The same one on visit after visit is worth a direct question. Our guide to checking a daycare and methodology explain the rest.
