Does vaccination cause allergies?
Helen Blythe from Stamford started the Benedict Blythe Foundation in memory of her five-year-old son Benedict who collapsed and died at school in December 2021.
She has now called for stronger legislation to prevent future incidents.
The Department for Education said all schools are required to make arrangements to support children with allergies.
Mrs Blythe said the death of her son should be a warning to schools and parents.
"He [Benedict] woke up, it was the first of December. He opened his advent calendar, went off to school happy and healthy and didn’t come home again," she said.

Five-year-old Benedict Blythe collapsed at a school near Peterborough in 2021 and the cause of his anaphylaxis is unknown.
His mother set up the Benedict Blythe Foundation, which has found failings in how schools manage allergies.
The Department for Education said children with allergies should be supported at school.
Helen Blythe, 37, stressed there was currently no evidence of failings at Benedict’s former school, but said his death had prompted her to take more interest in the management of allergies in educational settings.
She said: “He was the loveliest boy, he was incredibly kind.. and very bright.”
Being the parent of a child with a severe allergy meant being “constantly vigilant”, she said.
