The vaccine is usually given as a 3-dose course over 6 months:

1st dose: initial vaccination
2nd dose: around 1 month after the first dose

After completing all three doses, the body can develop a stronger antibody response against hepatitis A and hepatitis B viruses. Please follow the vaccination schedule advised by your doctor or healthcare professional.
