Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
As for the efficacy is concerned both the vaccines are same.
One is acellular pertusis vaccine (painless) is costly compared to whole cell pertusis vaccine (painful).
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
