Why do you need the third ASAP, for a job or something? They will give you time to complete the series. Besides, usually after the second dose you have built up sufficient immunity - you can have them draw a blood titer level.

As usual, WWD gives the straight scoop. In adults, the third dose is generally given 5 months after the second. This is the standard CDC protocol.
Poorly conceived employment protocols should not trump those recommendations.

Did you know that the Hepatitis B vaccine contains aluminum and mercury? I do not think that will be helpful for your body. It is also not tested for carcinogenic potential. Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted, so do you really need it?

About a week or so, but make sure to check with the doc or nurse who administers the shot. It's important that you do not rush the series of injections so that you get the maximum benefit from the innoculations.

You'll get the third in May. You don't need it ASAP; you need it at the appropriate time for it to do its job, and it's counterproductive to vary from the normal schedule.

about 4 months from the second. you should be mostly immune after your second. when you get your shot ask the nurse.
