The answer appears to be, "In the finest traditions of the Naval service."
Side note: you can add this to your file that, yes, what the Admiral is interested in, the Fleet will be interested in.

That is why, in the end, if you are happy or unhappy with our Navy ... that is where you start to look for answers to the question, "why?"
A friend (former USAF Inspector General auditor) once told me, "You don't get what you EXpect, you get what you INspect." What is on the inspection (or on the exam) is the only stuff people actually care about.
I find it a bit amazing that the Command hasn't just said, you will be vaccinated per the following schedule. I don't recall ever been given an option on shots, especially before deployment. Although the flu shot was optional, and aviators generally passed on that one as it was an automatic 72-hour grounding after getting the shot. All other shots were mandatory.
