My dog's better. Do I still need to go to the vet for the next shot?

Question

Ema has staphylococcus infection on her chin. I was at the vet and they subscribed antibiotics and some gel. Ema had first injection of antibiotics and I lubricate her chin with the gel every day. And in first few days all symptoms disappeared. Do I have to get her to the vet again for second injection of antibiotics? As vet told me to come again for injection, even Ema is fine now. I am vorried if antibiotics could negatively effect her imunity and I do not understand why to if she is fine. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 1 day old | 22 lbs

It is important to follow all directions by your vet and to attend a recheck appointment in order to ensure that the condition is completely resolved and whether there is need to continue to the treatment. Many conditions will improve with antibiotics but may return quickly if the comlete course is not followed and the infection cleared completely
