Child Was Given Hep B Vaccine. Had Taken Twinrix Vacine. Should I Be Concerned?
Brief Answer:
no reason to concern.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome and thanks for writing in.
Vac. Twinrix includes immunisation against both hepatitis A and B. He has received complete dose schedule including booster doses. In addition to it he has also received hepatitis B immunisation.
Considering his age he is well immunised to date. So there is no reason to worry or concern about anything.
It will be very helpful if you can mention any specific reason for concern like recent illness or traveling etc. Otherwise I think everything is fine.
Looking forward for your response.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
no medical concern
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome back.
Immunization gives only antigen which causes antibodies to form without causing disease. It means it gives protection against that particular disease. So even though he is getting second dose no need to worry about that.
It will not any harm in future. It is protection against hepatitis B infection.
So no need to worry about anything. Hope I have answered your query.
