3 doses of hep B vaccine should be given in 6 months duration. We can customise depending on wether we are giving hep b alone or in combination vaccine.
There should be atleast a gap of 1 month in between vaccines.
Recommended schedule
Birth
6 wk
14 wk
Or
Birth
6 wk
6 months
Or
6/10/14 weeks
Or
6/10 weeks and @6 months
But usually there is a penta valent vaccine...which should be given at 6/10/14 weeks compulsory.
So what ever you have given to baby is right.
