Usually it's been given as a single dose, but herd immunity is not being developed with single dose. Another shot is needed to develop herd immunity. U can take another shot after 6 months

Hepatitis A vaccines like Biovac-A are usually given in two doses, 6 months apart, for long-term protection.
A single dose can give some protection, but the second dose is important to ensure lasting immunity.
So you should plan for the booster at 6 months after the first shot.

Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern â it can be confusing when different information is given about vaccines, and itâs important to be clear about the correct schedule for your protection.
â
Advices
⢠Always confirm the exact vaccine name and type, since âBiovacâ is a brand name that may be used for different vaccines (like Hepatitis B, Typhoid, etc.).
⢠Most vaccines have a well-defined schedule â some are single dose, some require 2â3 doses.
⢠Keep your vaccination card or record safe so future doses can be planned accurately.
ð What to Monitor
⢠Check if you were given the vaccine card or doctorâs note at the time of injection.
⢠Look out for minor side effects like pain at injection site, mild fever, or fatigue (these are normal).
ð Management
If you were told itâs a single-dose vaccine, do not worry. But since some versions of Biovac (depending on whether it was for Hepatitis B or Typhoid) require multiple doses, it is best to reconfirm the exact vaccine type with your prescribing doctor or vaccination center.
Avoid taking an extra dose without medical guidance.
ð¨ When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠If you develop high fever, rash, or severe allergic reaction after vaccination.
⢠If you notice persistent swelling, redness, or pain at the injection site.
⢠If you are unsure about the vaccine schedule and need to plan catch-up doses.
âï¸ Every vaccine brand and schedule can differ, so accurate advice depends on the exact Biovac formulation you received.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive:
âï¸ Personalized vaccine schedule clarification
âï¸ Guidance on whether another dose is required
âï¸ Long-term preventive care planning
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
