A vitamin D level under 4.2 ng/mL is severely low, so completing that D3 course was the right first step. Whether you need another high dose or can move to a lower maintenance dose depends on your level now, not on time alone.
Next Steps
Repeat the vitamin D blood test and show it to your physician, who can then decide the right next dose for you. Daily sunlight and vitamin D rich foods help keep levels up once they're corrected.
Health Tips
Don't restart a high weekly dose on your own, since taking too much vitamin D can also cause problems.
