 I am not quite sure if I understand your question. If you did not complete the first 3 shots and want to know if you can have your third now...I would certainly go ahead and get vaccinated and then check a hepatitis B surface antibody to see if your levels are protective. Boosters are not routinely given unless a person's antibody levels have fallen over time and they are still at risk. | ||||||||
