Suggest Appropriate Dosage Of Hepatitis Vaccine
Hello Doctor, My son is 6 1/2 years old. We came to US last year from India. He got Hepatitis B vaccine at 6,10,14 weeks of age(3 doses) in India. And by mistake this was not recorded in immunization history here. He again got Hepatitis B last year one dose(on august) and this year(on September). In total he got 5 doses of hepatitis B vaccine. Is this OK Doctor? Do I need to really worry about this Doctor?

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
There is no need to worry
The extra doses will just boost his immunity.
NO HARM will be done
Wishing your child good health
