Already had 1 or 2 vaccine doses?
Remember to
complete the series.
If you’ve started your Twinrix® vaccination schedule, you will need 1 or 2 more injections to complete the series (1 month and 6 months after your first, according to the standard schedule). It’s very important to get all 3 vaccine doses. If you don’t, you may not be fully protected against hepatitis A and B.
NOTE: If you are following the rapid schedule, you will need an additional 3 vaccine doses – 1 week, 3 weeks, and 1 year after your first, for a total of 4 injections.
