festinate Hepatitis B vaccine doses (Engerix-B)

Hello,
I'm a 25 years old healthy guy, and recently I had a check for Hepatitis B, and the results were "non immune". I already got the first vaccine injection of Engerix-B. The problem is that I'm going away to another country (I live in Israel and I'm moving to Hungary) for one year, so I won't be able to get the other two injections on time.

In the vaccination protocol (in Israel), it said that in unconventional condition, it's possible to get the vaccine like this: days 0,7,21 and after 12 months.

The "problem" is that the doctors, nurses and pharmacists never heard of this specific schedule and I'm a bit worried that it might not work or cause problems?

I looked at the PDF of the Engerix-B on the GSK website, and I didn't find that mentioned there.

Where can I find another confirmation for that schedule? Can it cause any damage if I will take it in such short notice (0,7,21 days) ?

Thank you in advance!

Tom K.

I think it may be better to get a referral letter from your doctor in Isreal to your Dr. in Hungry to syncronize the vaccination plan

strange! I just replied to you. The main page shows that I replied. However, when I come to this page, I do not see my reply. I reply again:

If you intend to show this to your doctors, also give them the reference details indicated below the article body.
