You're OK: There has to be a minimum of 4 weeks in between doses, but there is no maximum where you would have to start over. Whenever you get the next dose, it is dose #2. Then you must wait at least 8 weeks before you can get dose #3, and that must also be at least a 6 month interval from dose #1. So get #2 as soon as possible, so you can complete the series. You don't need to start over!
