  Submitting Your Immunizations

  To safeguard your submissions, Medical Affairs (MA) will only accept immunization submissions via eDOC-U located in the Officer Secure Area (OSA). Any immunizations or medical documents sent via email will be deleted and cannot be processed.

  How to Submit Your Immunizations to Medical Affairs:

  1. Upload your Immunization documents through eDOC-U located in the Officer Secure Area (OSA). Document upload instructions are located in the eDOC-U function by clicking the “Help” link. Please read the “Helpful Hints” below to ensure you are submitting complete and correct documentation.
  2. When your immunizations are successfully processed, you will receive an email notification. Verify your status by checking your OSA Dashboard. Select the “Show Immunization Details” at the bottom of your OSA Dashboard as displayed below.
     
     
  3. If you do not receive notification after the maximum processing time, contact MA. Approximate processing times are posted in the Processing Timeline table located near the bottom of this webpage.

  Medical Affairs no longer maintains paper or electronic copies of immunization documents. Once the information is received, verified, and entered into your medical database, the document is deleted. Retain a copy of your immunization documents and eDOC-U upload confirmation email for verification and future reference.

  If after submitting your immunizations through eDOC-U you notice:

  • Your immunization document is not displayed as pending in eDOC-U AND
  • Your correct immunizations and dates are not displayed

  Re-upload the document in eDOC-U. Send an email with your name, SERNO, and the names of the missing immunizations to PHSCCimmunizations@hhs.gov.
