"You must have the second one in 1 month and the third in 6 months."
Explanation:
When going for a hepatitis B vaccine, it comes in three doses. The firs dose is being shot in the arm ( usually ), then it's followed by a second does that comes a month later. The third dose is injected 5 months after the second dose. It all depends on person's age and the brand of injection, but it's usually safe to say that 3rd shot should occur at least 16 weeks after the 1st shot, and at least 8 weeks after the 2nd shot.
