Will The Hepatitis Triple Series Vaccination Be Restarted In Singapore?

hello Dr Neelam, I am a mother to a three and half month old baby girl, presently am residing in India, and will be flying back to Singapore within 20 days for a 2 year long stay. I am in a dilemma about my babies vaccination. My baby has completed Hepatitis b1 and b2 shots of the triple series of Hepatitis vaccination and is left with b3 shot only. I wanted to know whether those 2 doses which have been given in India shall be considered in Singapore, or we will have to restart the doses. Kindly advice. Thank you.

Hi
welcome to HealthCareMagic
If vaccines taken in India are properly documented , I do not see any reason to restart the series . In my opinion you can take 3rd dose in Singapore.
thanks.
