Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that if you have completed all 3 doses of vaccines then there is no need to restart the vaccination as previous provides long term cover. There is no specific recommendations for a booster dose.
Kindly consult with your Physician to review you immunization record to determine if you require a booster dose or not.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
