Father of a 1 yr old boy

Q. #asktheexperts My son is now 1 year old and a vaccination was scheduled at completing 12 months which was JE (japanese encephalitis) and Hepatitis A so we went to the pediatrician to do the vaccination but instead of giving Hepatitis A and Japanese Encephalitis the pediatrician mistakenly gave Hepatitis A (Havrix 720) and Hepatitis B( BEVAC), when we get to know this we are shocked and asked the pediatrician that how a doctor can do this type of mistake, so please tell me is there any thing to be worried is this extra dose of Hepatitis B dose can be harmful for my son which was not required because all the dose of Hepatitis B is already done.
