Plan B6 of the Day: Officials at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania were asked to explain their decision to offer students access to the emergency contraception pill Plan B through a vending machine inside the school’s health center.
“We had some conversations with them and did a survey of the student body and we got an 85 percent response rate that the students supported Plan B in the House Center,” said Ship’s Vice president of Student Affairs, Dr. Roger Serr.
One dose of the so-called “morning-after pill,” which can legally be purchased over-the-counter by individuals 17 or older, will set students back $25. The university says it uses money made from sales to purchase more pills. Some 350 to 400 doses are sold each year.
“The vending machine is just a way to dispense it,” said Dr. Serr. “It’s provided, it’s not necessarily promoted on a large scale.”

$25 feels like a lot for college students, but then again, considering that the 2 closest Planned Parenthood locations are 10-15 miles away from this school [thank you, google maps!], i guess this is the next best thing to paying for your plan b on a sliding scale! and i like the vending machine. :)
$25 is an exceptionally great price for Plan B. In the state of MA (at least in the Worcester area,) getting name-brand Emergency Contraception can run you up to $75. At Planned Parenthood, it can be purchased in a generic version for $25+. This vending machine and school are ALL THE AWESOME.
