When I was a hobbyist beekeeper around 86/ 87 , I owned 2 hives , and "hive-sat" another 6-7 hives for friends.
When I explained to my physician about the bees, he wrote out a prescription for an epi-pen, and i picked it up at the local drug store.
It was a single epi-pen, with four separate application portions ; each separate portion required a twist of the plunger of 1/4 turn,
and came in it own plastic tube (like a see through cigar tube) and we kept the epi-pen and tube in the refrigerator for longevity.
The drug store charged me $12.50 for that multi-dose, epi-pen back then.

“The law makes an important change to the Children’s Asthma Treatment Grants Program and other federal asthma programs, which authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to give funding preferences to states for asthma-treatment grants if they: maintain an emergency supply of epinephrine (EpiPens), if they permit trained personnel of the school to administer epinephrine, and if they develop a plan for ensuring trained personnel are available to administer epinephrine during all hours of the school day.”
