Q.

#asktheexpert how painless vaccine is diffrent in terms of effectiveness

1 Answer

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months ago

A. Painless vaccines, such as the acellular pertussis (DTaP) version of the DTP vaccine, differ from the traditional "painful" vaccines (whole-cell pertussis, or DTwP) mainly in terms of side effects, not effectiveness. The painless (acellular) version causes fewer side effects like fever, swelling, and irritability, making it more comfortable for babies. However, studies suggest that the whole-cell (painful) version may offer longer-lasting immunity and broader protection against pertussis (whooping cough). In terms of effectiveness, both types are considered safe and effective, but some pediatricians may recommend the whole-cell version, especially in high-risk areas, due to its stronger immune response. The choice depends on your doctor’s guidance, your baby’s health, and your comfort level with potential side effects.
