Thanks for the query.
It is now recommended that regular vaccine(painful) is more effective and potent so pentaxim is not recommended for vaccination by many pediatricians.
But as you have already given pentaxim you should not change the brand now.
Don't worry, your baby will get protection from either vaccine whichever you choose.
Hope i helped you.
