What should a service member do if they notice a discrepancy in their immunization record?

A discrepancy in your immunization record can lead to an inaccurate assessment of your medical readiness, which can affect deployment eligibility, scheduling of boosters, and overall care. The best course is to tell your medical provider so they can verify your vaccine history, review any supporting documentation (like paper records or records from civilian providers), and update the official immunization record in the IMR. This keeps your readiness status current and prevents issues from missing or duplicate entries. Ignoring it or making changes yourself would leave the record incorrect and could cause problems down the line, while waiting for an annual review isn’t timely enough to fix the issue.
