Shippensburg offers 'morning after' pills in vending machine
Shippensburg offers birth control pills in vending machine
The FDA is getting involved in the availability of a 'morning after' pill at a college in south central Pennsylvania.
The FDA has contacted Shippensburg University after the school made "Plan B" available in a vending machine.
The machine is in the school's health building and access to it is restricted.
"Plan B" is available to women age 17 and older without a prescription but it must be kept behind a pharmacy counter.
The school installed the machine after a request from the school's student association.
A student survey found that 85 percent of respondents supported the move.
The cost of "Plan B" is $25. It is not covered or subsidized by Shippensburg.
