Hi
Welcome to HCM

According to the recent guidelines booster dose is not indicated to all people . Its for only those who are at high risk of getting infected like Healthcare personnel , partners of Hepatitis B positive patients etc .

But if you still need a booster you need to take it after 5 years , one injection same as previous .
