Students at George Washington University can now access emergency contraception through a vending machine located inside the school’s student center.

Students can purchase Plan B, a well-known brand name for an emergency contraceptive pill, from the vending machine located on the ground floor of the University Student Center, along with other items such as tampons, Tylenol, and Advil. Student government leaders pushed for the project shortly after the reversal of Roe v. Wade last summer after some students voiced concerns about a lack of access to reproductive healthcare.

“You could get Doritos and Plan B at the same time,” Aiza Saeed, a senior at GWU and member of the student government, told the Washington Post. 

The contraceptive pills are supplied through the vending machine company, and neither the school nor students are purchasing the products, according to the school.

Students can purchase the Plan B medication for only $30, offering a discount compared to some pharmacies that sell the contraceptive for up to $50.

“When you want to reach for emergency contraceptives, CVS — which is [near] the university — can be out [of stock], which can be nerve-racking,” student government leader Neharika Rao told Axios. “So a reduced price … is really helpful to students.”

The vending machine allows George Washington University to join a growing number of U.S. colleges that offer contraceptive pills to students, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, and others.
