What system records a service member's vaccine history and helps verify eligibility for benefits and deployment?

DEERS is the system that keeps a service member’s eligibility for benefits and deployment up to date. It serves as the master roster for who is enrolled in programs like TRICARE and who is authorized to receive benefits, and it is used at points where deployment eligibility must be verified. Vaccine history and other medical readiness data feed into the process, helping determine whether a service member is deployable. Other systems have different purposes: MEDPROS tracks medical readiness and immunization records to determine if someone remains deployable, CHCS is the clinical record system used at military treatment facilities, and ESR (the electronic service record) stores medical and personnel information. The question centers on who verifies eligibility for benefits and deployment, which is the role of DEERS.
