Is It Dangerous To Take The Hepatitis And Gardasil Vaccinations For The Second Time?
i believe i got the hepatitis vaccination 10 years ago...but i m not sure if it s for hep A or B. I got my first shot today again to start the series of vaccination shots. Is it dangerous to get vaccinated again, too soon? And if it is, would it be dangerous to stop the vaccinated treatment, due to it s dangers. i ve also began the gardasil vaccine also. which i never had before. and i would have to go back for 2 more rounds. would it be dangerous if i put that off too?....because i m not comfortable with the doctor i m seeing.

Thank you for your query.you can can second series of hep b if you doubt about your immune status.you can check your hep antibody titres to know whether your first vaccination was successful or not but it is costlier than taking a second schedule.there is no danger absolutely. Co-administration of HepB vaccine does not interfere with the immune response to any other vaccine and vice versa.so you can continue with gardasil simultaneously.hope this answers your query.have a nice day
