RMKS/1.  This message alerts Commanders of the immunization requirement 
changes made to the Medical Readiness Reporting System (MRRS) in June 2017.  
These changes aligned MRRS reporting requirements with reference (a) and 
impacted units reported medical readiness.

2.  Per reference (a), all active duty personnel require completion of the 
Hepatitis B vaccine series.  Members whose Hepatitis B surface antibody 
(anti-HBs) serum titer has a positive result will be classified medically 
immune in MRRS and will not require vaccination. Additionally, those with 
documented completion of the Hepatitis B vaccine series will be considered 
complete.  Furthermore, members 18 years of age and older can substitute 
TWINRIX for both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines.  Completion of the 
Hepatitis B vaccine series requires three doses of either TWINRIX, Hepatitis 
B vaccine, or a combination of both.
    a.  Those with MRRS access can identify personnel affected by generating 
a report via the following MRRS link: 
Report\Immunizations\Completed\Immunizations\Hep B Projection Report.

3.  Per reference (a), all active duty personnel will require two doses of 
the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.  Those individuals with one 
recorded MMR vaccination will need to obtain the second dose or provide 
documentation of having received the second dose.  Members whose MMR serum 
titers have a positive result or who have documented completion of two 
vaccinations will not require vaccination.
    a.  Those with MRRS access can identify personnel affected by generating 
a report via the following MRRS link: 
Report\Immunizations\Completed\Immunizations\MMR Projection Report.

4.  Per reference (a), those personnel who require Meningococcal immunization 
will require a booster dose every five years, vice every ten years.
    a.  Those with MRRS access can identify personnel affected by generating 
a report via the following MRRS link: 
Report\Immunizations\Completed\Immunizations\MGC Projection Report.

5.  These new requirements were reflected in MRRS in June 2017. To minimize 
the administrative impact to medical readiness, these changes were applied to 
active duty members who entered on active duty on or after 1 January 2010.  
Personnel who entered on active duty before 1 January 2010 will undergo 
phased MRRS implementation announced via subsequent message.

6.  Released by Sean J. Stackley, Acting Secretary of the Navy.//
