In my opinion,one repetition of 3 dose series HBV vaccine is not harmful in a sense that it is always done for those people who dont develop at least 10 mIU/mL of anti HBs on the first series of vaccination, and if ever  it has i guess it wont outweigh the protection you will acquire. and also, those HIV positive and under dialysis patients are recommended for annual HBV Booster dose.
