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?
