University Drive pharmacist denies a student birth control
Earlier this semester, a University of Massachusetts student went to the CVS pharmacy on University Drive, where a pharmacist refused to fill her prescription for birth control pills.
The UMass sophomore, who discussed the issue on the condition that she remain anonymous, had sought to refill her prescription of Aviane, an oral contraceptive, online. But when she arrived at the pharmacy, she said a male pharmacy technician told her he had deleted the request from the computer because, as she claims, “he didn’t want to fill it.”
