Does my son need any more vaccines after hepatitis vaccine?
My son is going to get the vaccine for hepatitis. I realize he'll need more vaccines in the future, but I want to know if he'll need multiple doses of this vaccine after the first. If so, how many?

Yes, the hepatitis B vaccine is usually given as a series of doses to make sure your child builds strong, lasting protection. Most children receive 3 doses total, spaced out over several months, starting shortly after birth or in early childhood.
Your childs doctor will follow the recommended schedule and make sure each dose is given at the right time. You can always ask to see the vaccine schedule or get reminders for upcoming doses.
Yes he will need total three hepatitis b vaccinations doses
2 more for a total of 3 if this is for hep b. If it is hep a he will need 1 more in 6 months for a total of 2 vaccines.
