I dont think you will have to. They would have warned you that you will need another. If you had both the recommanded doses within 6-12 months of eachother then you should be safe as they as this is supposed to protect you long term.
I know its hard but it would help even if you remembered which vaccine you got you would be able to know, as one injects a form of the virus into the body so it creates anti-bodies to recognise and fight the virus. That one is definately life protecting.
If your worried go to your local GP and have a chat, they will know and they worst that will happen is that they will recommand another course of doses which have no real side effects and you barely feel them.
Hope that helped alittle.
Good luck!
