Concerns regarding Hepatitis B dose

2018-12-02 20:32:42
I have taken the 3 shots of Hepatitis B vaccine back in 2006, the third being in November 2006. The booster dose was scheduled by my doctor for November 2017, i.e after 11 years. But I totally forgot about the shot. Do I need to be worried because I have missed the schedule by more than a year. Is it necessary to take the booster dose? Regards

Take the booster dose as soon as possible. Need not worry till you are exposed to it.
