Hi
Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Hepatitis B vaccine should be taken in dose of 1 ml at 0, 1 month and 6 month and then a booster is taken at 5 years.
The two vaccines available in India are Engerix-B and GeneVac-B.
Price should be around 100 INR for one dose. Though it may vary from one pharmacy to another.
You can go to a doctor ask him for a prescription of the vaccine.
Hope it helps
