What is the effect of a missing vaccine on deployability?

Vaccination status directly influences whether a Soldier can be deployed. Deployability relies on being Medically Ready, which means up-to-date with required vaccines. If a vaccine is missing, the Soldier is labeled Not Medically Ready until they receive the vaccine and complete any required post-vaccination waiting periods. This status blocks deployment because the unit must ensure every member is protected against vaccine-preventable diseases and compliant with policy before deploying. The other ideas aren’t accurate because readiness applies regardless of location or mission. Missing a required vaccine doesn’t only affect non-deployed personnel or only combat zones, and it does have a real impact on whether someone can be deployed.
