Hi
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
If you give whole cell pertussis shot it will be painful
Acellular pertussis vaccine is painless .
But IAP recommend whole cell pertussis vaccine even though painful as it offers better protection.
Tripacel (DTaP) vaccine by Aventis Pasteur contains 5 purified pertussis antigens combined with diphtheria (>30 I.U.) and tetanus (>40 i.u.) toxoid.
It is safer and painless and fewer side effects.
Single dose vaccine cost is variable around 500 to 600 rupees.
Hope this answer serves your purpose .
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
