Better go 3 doses starting with 0,1,6 month intervals. Any qualified doctor can give this vaccine.

If you have taken 2 doses already, you can get your antibody levels checked. If it's adequate, a booster dose will suffice.
If levels are below par, then you need to go for all 3 doses.

Consult a physician.
