E-drug: hep B vaccine-dose (3)

Dear E-Drug Users,

In Pakistan, the recommended dose of Engerix- B is 20 mcg 
and 10 mcg for adults and children respectively, at 0,1 and 6 months. 
 
The recommended dose in Japan  is 10 mcg and 5 mcg, for adults and 
children respectively. 

To our knowledge no local trial has been conducted to establish a 
higher dose in Pakistan. 

Please help me out as to the possible reasons. 

Thanking you

[seems that Japan is using lower dosages than Pakistan and Norway. Anybody
in Japan knows the reasons for this? Has anybody asked the company involved?
