A member asked:
Got hep b shot 1 in 94, second and third 6 years later. should i get series again? 26 years old.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No, the CDC does not recommend that series be restarted. If the vaccine series was interrupted after the first dose, the second dose should be administered as soon as possible. However, you had the second and the third dose after 6 yeas later and to determine immunity against Hep B, you should blood testing now to show adequate anti-HBs (at least 10 mIU/mL).
