How many times can someone re-take the hep. a&b vaccine?

The current: Recommendations are 3 doses for HBV vaccine and 2 for hav. Boosters after that are not really suggested.

It depends: If after receiving the proper shots (3 doses of hep b and 2 of hep a) you find out through a blood test that you are not immune, you can repeat the series of shots again.

Extra may be OK: Dr lutwick's answer is correct.But the question is can too many be given.Altho not extensively researched, it appears that there is no problem in receiving extra doses of these vaccines.
