Hi
Welcome to HCM
According to the recent guidelines booster dose is not indicated to all people . Its for only those who are at high risk of getting infected like Healthcare personnel , partners of Hepatitis B positive patients etc .
But if you still need a booster you need to take it after 5 years , one injection same as previous .
