School Albuterol Access Initiative


In partnership with the California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) Office of School Health, CalRx® plans to launch a centralized ordering system to supply California’s TK–12 schools with albuterol inhalers and single-use disposable spacers at no cost over a three-year period beginning in Spring 2026. Product will be shipped directly to schools as authorized by CDPH’s albuterol standing order. After three years, the system will remain accessible for schools to continue ordering products directly at their own reduced cost.

CalRx® is currently in the process of selecting a vendor to develop a reliable, easy-to-use ordering and distribution solution for schools.
