A member asked:

What can happen if a baby gets two shots for hepatitis b?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing: If you are talking about the vaccination, the standard course is generally 3 shots. If only 2 were given, the baby may still develop immunity. Please talk to the baby's doctor about this.
