Ideally vaccine should be given before 15 years of age (9-14 ) but catch up vaccinations (for those who have missed taking vaccine ) in India is recommended till age 25 years .
But many other countries catch up is recommended till 40 years though the benefit of such late vaccination are debatable , no harm in taking it .
Vaccination schedule after 15 years should always have 3 doses for complete course of vaccination
