What happens if dose #2 of HepA vaccine is delayed?
You do not need to start the series over again. The immunogenicity of 1 dose of HepA vaccine is 94% to 100%; studies have shown persistent protection from a single dose lasting more than 10 years. To ensure optimal long-term protection it is important to administer the second dose.
