A member asked:
I've had my first hep b shot in late january. do i have to start all over or can i still have my second one after two months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't start over: When the timing for Hepatitis B vaccine is a bit off, one can just do the second shot and then wait 5 months (or even a few months later) to do the third shot. However, if a person has a close contact or a household contact with Hep B (the contact is a Hep B carrier), then the person should try to stick closely to the official shot schedule.
