Vaccination booster dates

Question 4 : Vaccination booster dates

I’ve missed the date for getting a booster shot for my Hepatitis A and B vaccines. Do I have to start the process all over? Is it okay to continue with a booster? Or would my protection be less?

Answer

You can’t get a booster shot earlier than required, but there’s no problem if you’re late. We don’t start from square one in this case. We simply continue the immunization schedule, and the effectiveness of the vaccines won’t be affected in any way.
