FundaPen initiative extended to all Kiwis in need of life-saving Epipen auto-injectors
24 February 2020 - The FundaPen campaign, which last year saw hundreds of free EpiPens® given to children in need, has been extended for a limited time to any New Zealander at risk of anaphylaxis.
While funded stocks last, Allergy New Zealand and Pub Charity are offering the auto-injector pens to anyone who is doctor-diagnosed as being at risk of anaphylaxis. EpiPen (adrenaline auto-injector pens), which last only 12 – 18 months, are not funded by PHARMAC and can cost anywhere between $120 and $350 each.
