As the largest city in Arizona, you will find many health care resources in Phoenix. Like most other US cities, you'll need a prescription to obtain birth control (with the exception of condoms and a few other methods). You don't need a prescription to purchase emergency contraception (the morning after pill), and everyone, including minors, can purchase Plan B. Like other US cities, you can find the HPV vaccine. You can also find PrEP and PEP in Arizona, and we have provided more information on vendors below (in the "Medications and Vaccines" section). Abortion is legal, yet restrictions apply, include mandatory counseling, ultrasounds and a 24-hour wait period. | |||
