Updated Vaccine Policy

Effective June 2, 2025

Dr. Talley and all of the providers at GUP strongly believe vaccines are safe and effective and thus, our policy regarding vaccines has changed as of June 2, 2025.

Minimum expectations for children under 2 years of age:

• 3 DTaP’s by 18mos of age

• 1 MMR by 24mos of age

The following vaccines must be up to date by 72mos of age:

• 4 DTaP’s

• 3 IPV’s (polio)

• 3 Hepatitis B

• 2 MMR

• 2 Varivax

We will continue to offer an alternative schedule, but will no longer accept religious or personal beliefs as waivers.  Parents choosing to not follow the recommended CDC vaccine schedule will continue to sign GUP’s Vaccine Refusal Form at each well visit that recommended vaccines are not administered.

Failure to meet GUP’s new vaccine requirements will be grounds for dismissal from the practice unless the patient has a verifiable medical exemption.
