A member asked:
What to do about hepatitis b vaccine - can you re-start the series if you don't know how many you've taken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you think you completed the series you can have a blood test to see if your protection level is good. If you started the series, the same testing should show some effect and you might be able to just take a booster or two to be done. It does not hurt to start over with the full series.
