Hello,

If you've completed the 3-shots course then you're OK. Otherwise, you should do all 3 doses of the vaccine. The schedule for vaccination against HBV requires 3 injections. The second injection should be done at least one month after the first. The last injection should be done at least 5 months apart from the second. Make sure that you receive the adults' dose - the children's dose is only half the adults' dose.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis, Internal Medicine Specialist
