How many doses of hepatitis b vaccine?

My younger sister is due for her first vaccination soon, and the pediatrician mentioned something about Hepatitis B. I'm trying to make a list so I don't miss anything. How many doses are generally required?

Hey! It is normally a 3-dose schedule. You take the first one, then the second after 1 month, and the third one at 6 months. Just drop by your local clinic and they will handle the rest.

Usually, 3 doses are given to protect the body. Keep yourself positive and healthy, and let the doctor guide you through the process. Take care.

Haan, 3 doses lagti hain iski general cases mein. Pehli dose ke baad baaki dono ka gap doctor bata denge. Bohot common vaccine hai, toh tension mat lena, na?

Standard is three doses. Please visit your doctor and they will guide you safely on when to get each shot.

It is 3 doses, which is still fewer than the number of coffees I need to survive the day. Just ask any clinic, they'll give you the exact dates so you don't have to keep track.
