Hi,
The injection which was given second time was Pentaxim from Sanofi Pasteur.This is a painless shot against
Diptheria,
Pertusis
Tetanus,
Haemophilus influenza and
Polio.
This vaccine is also called a gentle vaccine because it does not have side effect of fever which your child suffered from the earlier vaccine.The pain is eliminated by using acellular Pertusis component in it.So just relax and don't worry you have made a right choice in giving your child this vaccine.
Bye
Take care.

Hi
Thanks for your query
Relax,your baby was given painless vaccination which has acellular pertussis component after which there is negligible pain and fever at 2 and half months of age and is equally effective.
At age of 1 and half month he was given pentavac which has whole cell vaccine and there is pain and fever after it.
Wishing your baby good health.
God bless.
