Please recommend names of hepatitis B vaccination. I have heard about Engirex B but it has become obsolete in market and pharmacist suggested to inject Amvax B. So, i took first dose of 1ml on 20th Oct 2024 and 2nd on 22nd Nov 2024. When should i take 3rd dose ? After 6 months of 1st dose or 2nd dose?

The hepatitis B vaccination schedule typically consists of three doses. Based on the dates you’ve provided (20th October 2024 for the first dose and 22nd November 2024 for the second dose), the third dose should generally be administered 6 months after the first dose. This means your third dose should ideally be scheduled for 20th April 2025.
The vaccine you received, Amvax B, follows a standard schedule and is safe to administer.
