Emergency contraception (EC) includes any method that acts after intercourse to prevent pregnancy. Through The Allegany County Department of Health the Plan B pill is available. It is NOT an abortion pill and does NOT disturb an implanted pregnancy. It may prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. Males and females over the age of 14 can go to a Pharmacy without a prescription to obtain Plan B, however there is a fee of approximately $65 per pill. Through our Reproductive and Sexual Health clinics individuals without insurance (or those who wish not to disclose their insurance) will be placed on a sliding fee scale with a maximum fee of $6 (most may qualify to receive EC for free).
The Reproductive and Sexual Health Clinics also offer reliable birth control methods for your contraceptive use and reproductive health. If you currently have or qualify for the Family Planning Benefit Program (Medicaid that covers your reproductive health) it allows you to obtain Plan B from a pharmacy up to 6 times a year for no charge without a prescription.
Call (585) 268-9250 for an appointment.

Allegany County sponsors Immunization Clinics for adults and children. Most services are free to those who qualify and a sliding fee scale is provided for others.
HPV is the Human Papilloma Virus. HPV can lead to genital warts, cervical cancer in women, penile cancer in men, anal cancer and throat cancer. It is completely preventable through a vaccine called Gardasil and recommended for persons age 9-26.
Vaccination is not recommended for everyone older than age 26 years.
- Some adults age 27 through 45 years who are not already vaccinated may decide to get HPV vaccine after speaking with their health care provider about their risk for new HPV infections and the possible benefits of vaccination for them.
- HPV vaccination in this age range provides less benefit, because more people in this age range have already been exposed to HPV.
