A member asked:
What are the risks if i did not take the complete 3 dose series (i.e taken only 2 shots) of hepatitis a&b vaccines?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
3 doses are required: 2 doses are better than none, but the complete 3 vaccines series is necessary to achieve an adequate level of immunity.

No immunity: Have your doctor check antibody titers.
