You should only need three shots for Hep B vaccine. The first two at least a month apart and the third at least 4 months after the second. If you don't get all three, you would be considerred still succeptible to Hepatitis B, which can cause liver failure. It may affect you if you need the vaccine for work.

Hope you get the last one, should not be a big deal. It does not matter how long you wait, as long as it is 4 months after the second.

You wont be totally vaccinated for Hepatitis B and it will have made the other shots pointless. If you also are trying to get a job or into school that requires you to have a complete series of shots, you will not be able to get in. Plus you wont be protected against Hep B, which is the worst downfall of all.

You need to make sure you get the complete series..this is no guarantee that you are completely protected..there is a small percentage of patients who with all the medication and series still don't convert and are immune to Hep B..but hey take the medicine and give yourself and fighting chance of getting the immunity..

If you don't finish the entire series of shots then your not protected. Also if you had to have these regarding your job, your employer has not met his requirements either.
Contact the place you were receiving them from and ask what to do.
