The first time I heard about the painless

vaccines was through my brother. It was
around 2012, I was living and working as
a Pediatrician in USA. As I was talking to
my brother in India about his newborn
baby he tells me that he took his baby to
the Pediatrician and got the painless

Considering my ignorance about the

whole situation I thought some
Pediatrician has convinced my brother
to make my brother feel good about the
vaccines. I did not pay much attention to
this matter as every vaccine that my
brother got for his child from there

onwards was "painless".
 Fast forward to 2015, I relocated to

 Bangalore and started my own clinic and
 now most patients who come for
vaccines started asking for Painless
vaccines. Then my research began in the
form of questions to my other pediatric
Home colleagues and the representatives from Explore  Search

the pharmaceutical industry.

This is what I have figured about
"painless" vaccine in the last one year.
To keep the matter simple and not too

technical I will only highlight my
conclusions here:
1. There is no painless vaccines.
2. The only vaccine that is subject to this

confusion is DTP versus DTaP.
3. As compared to DTP, the DTaP

vaccine is supposed to have lesser
 incidence of fever. The name itself says

that it is acellular Pertussis and hence
 lesser incidence of fever.

4. This issue of DTaP causing lesser fever
has been extending to causing lesser
crying and the lesser crying has been
reversely attributed to less pain and
hence the "painless vaccine " concept.
5. I personally think this is probably a

war between brands to promote one
brand as compared to the other.
6. The good news now is that Indian

Academy of Pediatrics also recommends
DTP vaccine strongly for the primary
series of vaccinations. Lately the
"painless vaccine" has disappeared from
the market.
My hope through this article is that

more parents realize that there was
 never a "painless vaccine" and there is

probably never going to be a "painless
 vaccine". Only oral vaccines like Oral
 Polio and Oral Rotavirus vaccines can be
painless. Also the parents should
protect themselves from any health care
provider promising the same. This will
also hopefully prevent the families save
money in the long run by not paying
more for these "painless vaccines".
