A. Both painless (acellular) and painful (whole-cell) vaccines protect babies against the same diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough), but there are key differences: Painful (whole-cell vaccine): This is more commonly used in government hospitals. It can cause fever, swelling, and pain at the injection site, but it is highly effective and provides stronger, longer-lasting immunity. Painless (acellular vaccine): Used more often in private clinics, it causes fewer side effects like fever or pain, making it more comfortable for the baby. However, some studies suggest it may offer slightly less long-term protection, especially against whooping cough. Which is better? If you're looking for stronger immunity, the painful (whole-cell) vaccine may be preferred. If you're worried about side effects and want your baby to be more comfortable, the painless option is gentler but still effective. Always consult your pediatrician to decide what's best for your child based on their health and vaccination history.
