Support Gio’s Law

A paramedic checks the pulse of a conscious man lying on a stretcher inside an ambulance, while another paramedic sits nearby with his back to the camera.

Gio’s Law is a bipartisan bill in Congress named in memory of Giovanni Cipriano, who tragically died from anaphylaxis. The legislation aims to ensure that first responders have the tools and training necessary to save lives during allergic emergencies.

The bill:

Establishes a federal grant program for first responder agencies to obtain epinephrine auto-injectors.
Provides funding for training police officers, firefighters, and emergency personnel to recognize and treat anaphylaxis.
Addresses the critical time gap when first responders arrive before paramedics.
Empowers law enforcement and fire departments to administer life-saving medication on scene.
Helps prevent unnecessary deaths from severe allergic reactions.
Promotes immediate access to treatment for the millions of Americans living with life-threatening allergies.

This legislation represents common-sense public health solutions. Epinephrine is safe, easy to administer, and remarkably effective when given promptly. Equipping the first responders who are already protecting our communities with this simple tool will prevent unnecessary deaths and provide security to the millions of Americans, including children, living with severe allergies.
