What happens if the interval between the 2nd and 3rd vaccination of the hepatitis B virus is too long?

GeorgeSabor asked:


Can you still use the first 2 vaccinations eventhough 5 years have passed since my second vaccine of hepatitis b? Or should I start by scratch and receive all 3 vaccinations (repeating the first 2)?

In other words, do I need to get one more shot, or do I need 3 shots?

    5 years is too long a break between shots, You’ll have to start the series over.

    It’s easy enough to do a blood test to see if you are immune. If you are, no further shots are needed. If you are not immune, I would start all over.
