This shouldn't be a problem at all. The most significant issue seems to be that they get all 3 doses. The fact that the 3rd dose was 6 months after the first is probably the most significant factor.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
