It is important to contact medical control in situations like this, as they can provide guidance and potentially authorize the administration of additional medications or treatments. The decision to divert transport or administer a second auto-injector should be based on the guidance provided by medical control. Continuing supportive care en route to the hospital is important, but contacting medical control should be the first priority.
