A member asked:
My child vaccined for hep b when she born . she is now 8 years old doctor talk us to get hep b vaccine again ? why this happens
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basics: The initial dose is recommended at birth. However a 2nd & sometimes a 3rd dose are part of the series. These boosters are meant to build on that initial dose & prolong protection for decades that would otherwise fail sooner.
