can i still recieve the hepititis b vaccine?

i am going back to the doctor tommrrow for a regular check up. i got the 1st hepitits b shot in august so its 9 moths subsequent will they still give me the second shot even though your sapposed to get it only 4 moths following? just wondering please and thank you (:
Best Answer: Most physicians will say that if the 3-shot series is interrupted (i.e., if a dose is missed), that the series doesn't need to be restarted, that it should a moment ago be continued. So your physician may choose to go ahead and give you the second shot, then make available you the third shot at least 8 weeks later. This, of course, is entirely up to your physician. Different doctors own different opinions on subjects like this!

There should be no problem near continuing the regimen in this case. Longer intervals between doses of the HBV vaccines (there are a few different vaccines) does not affect the seroprotection rates of the vaccine according to the research*. If your doctor seems concerned roughly this, have him call the local public health clinic/vaccine clinic to obtain more information. S/he could also simply look it up in the national vaccine guidelines (Canada) or the similar document in the U.S (which I am not familiar with).
