Hello there. I can understand your concern. No. You don't need to take any more for at least 5 years. You just need one shot every 5 years from now. That's a booster dose. Nothing else. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
