Plan B vending machines expand emergency contraception access
Plan B access via vending machines is expanding with Washington funding to place $10,000 grants at public colleges for automatic dispensers. The UW machine sells generic Plan B at $12.60, with over 640 boxes sold, offering cheaper, anonymous access and potentially aiding rape victims when pharmacies are closed. Connecticut passed a measure allowing vending of Plan B on campuses, while Yale paused in 2019 over state law.
