Where to Find Plan B and Emergency Contraception in Mammoth Lakes

Last updated on 

Need Plan B or emergency contraception in Mammoth Lakes or nearby? You’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. Whether it’s after unprotected sex, birth control failure, or just a precaution, we’ve got you covered with local info and real talk.

What Is Emergency Contraception?

Emergency contraception (EC) is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after sex. It’s not the same as the abortion pill, and it won’t affect an existing pregnancy.

You’ve got two main options:

  • Plan B One-Step and generics (like My Way or Take Action)
  • Ella (requires a prescription but works better for some people, especially if you weigh over 165 lbs or are closer to ovulation)

Where to Get Plan B in Mammoth Lakes

You can usually find Plan B or its generic versions at:

  • Vons Pharmacy – Mammoth Lakes
    📍 481 Old Mammoth Rd, Mammoth Lakes, CA
    ☎️ (760) 934-9524
  • Rite Aid – Mammoth Lakes
    📍 26 Old Mammoth Rd, Mammoth Lakes, CA
    ☎️ (760) 934-2487
🎉
COMING SOON: Mono County is installing a health care vending machine at the Mammoth Lakes Library. This vending machine will be stocked with Plan B, Narcan, pregnancy tests, and condoms. We can't wait and hope more cities will follow!
💡
Pro tip: You don’t need a prescription for Plan B, and you shouldn’t be ID’d or age-checked either. If you’re ever denied, ask to speak to a pharmacist—or reach out to us for help.

Timing Matters

Plan B works best within 3 days (72 hours) after sex, but the sooner, the better. Ella can work up to 5 days, and may be more effective if you’re a higher weight or further into your cycle.

Your Right to Emergency Contraception

In California, you have the right to access emergency contraception—no prescription needed for Plan B, no age restrictions, and no judgment.

If a pharmacist refuses, that’s not okay. Reach out and we’ll help you take action or find another place that respects your rights.

Plan B is just one part of your reproductive toolkit. Knowing where and how to get it can make a big difference in moments when time is tight and emotions are high.

At Eastern Sierra Choice, we’re working to close the information gap for folks in Bishop, Mammoth, Lone Pine, and beyond. Whether it’s emergency contraception, abortion access, or just answers to your questions—you deserve clear info and real support.
