Important Information Regarding Promotion Year 2007 Promotions and Immunization Requirements
|
|
| Please read the following
notice for clarification: |
|
|
This message concerns immunization documentation entrusted to the
Medical Affairs Branch (MAB) of the Office of Commissioned Corps Support Services, that
is stored on the main page of the ‘Secure Area’ of
the Commissioned Corps Management Information System (CCMIS) Web site, and immunization data found on the Office
of Force Readiness and Deployment’s (OFRD) ‘Officer Summary Page’ of the OFRD Web site as
it relates to Promotion Year (PY)
2007.
|
|
| Corps officers’ basic force readiness
status and the 5th promotion precept assessing the PY 2007 basic readiness
points will be determined based solely on the OFRD ‘Officer Summary Page’ as of
31 December 2006 -- not by the MAB (CCMIS) database. As in
past promotion years, an administrative, post-Promotion Board review will be
conducted prior to the final approval of the promotion list by the Assistant
Secretary for Health. This administrative review will be based upon the
information contained on the OFRD ‘Officer Summary Page.’ The date on which
this post-promotion administrative review is conducted is not known at this
time, so officers must not let their readiness status lapse for any period of
time. Officers will be removed from the promotion list if their readiness
status is not current when the post-promotion administrative review is
completed.
|
|
| Per Personnel Policy Memorandum (PPM)
07-001, “Extension of Manual Extension 377,“ (http://dcp.psc.gov/eccis/documents/PPM07_001.pdf),
officers are required to: (1) self report all immunization data to OFRD; and
(2) submit in hard copy complete medical/laboratory evidence to MAB. MAB will
verify the validity of the medical documentation and enter these data into the
CCMIS database to maintain medical confidentiality of this information.
Officers are encouraged to submit their supporting immunization documents to
MAB so that the Corps can develop an historical database for each officer. Much
of this information is required only once during on officer’s career, but
several immunizations require multiple updates. MAB requires sufficient time to
receive this information so that the information can be reviewed and entered
into the MAB (CCMIS) database.
|
|
| For the purposes of the PY 2007 promotion
cycle, the immunization standard will be assessed solely by the self-reported
information on the OFRD Web site. Immunization data and documentation will
continue to be accepted and reviewed and entered into the MAB (CCMIS) database
for use in future promotion cycles and to provide medical waivers if required.
|
|
| Officers may choose to fax (301-594-3299)
or mail immunization documentation to MAB (see address below), but not both.
Officers must include their name and PHS serial number on all correspondence so
that the information can be properly filed into the MAB (CCMIS) database of the
officer’s electronic Official Personnel Folder.
