The first and second hep B vaccines 1 month apart, ok?

Does anyone know if this is ok? DS is 3 and just had his first hep B 1 month ago. They want to give him the second dose now, one month later. Long story short, we moved and our new pedis schedule is very different than the first pedi we had.

I think I just found the answer. That is, yes, that is typically how it is done.

Yes, that is how our pedi does it too! One month in between the first two and then 6 months in between the second and third.

Ok thanks. Good to hear it from someone else!
