For the Engerix-B vaccine, the following dosage regimens are allowed: 1) Usual mode - 1. dose on any day ; 2nd dose after 1 month from the 1st dose; 3. dose after 6 months from the 1st dose 2) Accelerated mode - 1st dose on any day; 2nd dose after 1 month from the 1st dose; 3rd dose 2 months after the 1st dose; 4. dose after 12 months from the 1st dose 3) Exceptional cases - 1st dose on any day; 2nd dose 7 days after the 1st dose; 3. dose 21 days after the 1st dose; 4th dose 12 months after the 1st dose. The doctor should inform about the need to administer any additional doses of the vaccine (due to possible interference with the schedule provided by the manufacturer): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27248/engerix-b-iniekcja/apteki Vaccination with Euvax B can be done in the following schemes: 1) Normal mode - 1. dose on any day ; 2nd dose after 1 month from the 1st dose; 3rd dose after 6 months from the 1st dose 2) Special cases - 1st dose on any day ; 2nd dose after 1 month from the 1st dose; 3rd dose 2 months after the 1st dose; 4th dose 12 months after 1st dose: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/28216/euvax-b-iniekcja/apteki
