Brief Answer:
No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. The painless injections as given to your baby are good enough if proper schedule is followed. I would recommend you to go for pentaxim at 14 weeks as well and then give boosters of whole cell pertussis containing vaccines or painful injections at 16-18 months and 5 years boosters. This will protect your baby well and will give her long lasting immunity.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
