You might request a Hep. B test to see if your body has responsed to the vaccine. If your results show immunity then you do not need the vaccine. If you are not showing immunity, you might inquire if another course of vaccine is an option. Good idea to get the Hep. A & C vaccine also.

One should only need one complete series(3 shots, over a six month period) in order for the body to build up its imunity to hep B.
